Our Campaign

Our minimum goal of $3.5 million will enable us to positively impact all five of our Strategic Focus Areas and Goals. But, realizing this higher level of support* will require all of us to stretch and give sacrificially.

*Our fundraising counsel said that we could realistically expect to raise a minimum of $2.5 million in our campaign. We need and hope to do far better than this, however. That’s why we’ve decided to set a minimum goal of $3.5 million for our campaign.

 

Gift Options

All members are asked to consider gifts to this special campaign that are above and beyond their regular offerings and contributions. Gifts can be made in a variety of ways.

Long-Term Subscriptions: Pledges payable over three years are easier for most givers and essential to meeting our goal. It would be impractical, if not impossible, to reach our objectives with one-time, out-of-pocket gifts. Gifts may be made in monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual installments. A 10% initial investment is encouraged.

Non-Cash Gifts: Non-cash gifts are another way to support our cause. For example, securities such as stocks and bonds; real estate such as land, homes, or vacation and rental properties; or personal property such as artwork, automobiles, jewelry, and antiques.

Deferred Gifts: You can support our efforts through deferred gifts, which can be given now but not received until later. These can include gifts through a will by bequest, life insurance policies or annuities, and trust arrangements.
