2026 Endowment Fund Fundraiser Goal
|
1%

The Facts Our goal of a $100,000 Endowment Fund balance is within reach! We are three-quarters of the way there, which is close enough to see the finish line, but not yet close enough to cross it. In the Endowment Fund, established in 2023, up to 5%, per the Board of Managers decision, is withdrawn annually to offset Program expenses, ensuring lasting impact. To fully sustain these programs, the Fund must continue to grow. The Opportunity Our 2026 Endowment Fund Fundraiser goal is $25,000. This is an America 250 challenge, a moment that comes once in a generation. Together, we can meet it and strengthen the legacy we proudly uphold. Every contribution - large or small - directly strengthens the programs that define who we are and what we stand for. Again, if you have given in past years, we invite you to consider increasing your gift in honor of this historic anniversary. If you are joining our fundraising efforts for the first time, welcome! Everyone’s support matters. As a special gift, for each contribution of $250 or more you will receive our first-ever George Washington Chapter challenge coin.
Please Join us. Support the mission. Strengthen the legacy. Thank you for your support! |
