Lincolnway District Scouting Endowment
“Carry On”
|
|
Our vision is to “endow” the District Executive Position in Lincolnway District. That is, to raise enough in a designated endowment fund to pay the annual salary of the Lincolnway District Executive with the annual interest accrued by the fund. This would mean, in effect, that even in lean financial times, there will be enough money available to maintain a District Executive for Lincolnway District. That, in turn, will secure the future of Scouting in Kosciusko and Whitley counties for years, perhaps decades to come.
Pledge Your Support Today!
Please help us in our effort to endow the District Executive position for Lincolnway District. Select a giving level that best fits your budget, make your pledge now and complete your payment before April 1, 2019 to ensure that your initial pledge will be matched 4:1 by the KCCF. (All gifts are tax deductible.)
If you are able to continue your initial gift for an additional 4-5 years, you will be making a significant contribution to our overall $1,000,000 goal!
For instance: An initial gift of $100 paid by April 1, 2019 qualifies for a KC 50 match of
$400 Total=$500.
By continuing with annual gifts of $100 for an additional 5 years, add another $500.
That’s a total of $1,000 toward securing the future of Scouting in our community!
