Make A Donation To The Foundation

There are several ways to donate to the Foundation.

  • The Century Club allows you to donate $100 a year until you no longer wish to donate.  You will be sent a reminder each year to continue your donation.
  • A one-time donation can be made as often as you like.  You will be added to our email newsletter to be informed of events and the progress of the Foundation.
  • If you would like to endow a scholarship please contact one of the Trustees.  A description of an Endowed Scholarship is below.
  • Another option for donations is through Planned Giving which is also described below.
The Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization and donations are tax deductible.  As always you should verify all tax deductible donations with your tax preparer.
 
Use one of the links below to make a one time donation or enroll in the Century Club.
By enrolling in the Century Club you will commit to donating $100 a year until you decide to stop donating.
The one-time donation is exactly that.  You can make a donation in any amount and at any time.

Special Note:  When using the links below to make a donation you will be sent to a site using a system called Zeffy.  100% of your donation goes to the Foundation.  Zeffy asks for a donation to them that is not necessary.  In the drop down box asking for their donation you can change the amount to zero.  Anything donated to Zeffy does not go to the Foundation.

Endow a Scholarship
An Endowed Scholarship is a scholarship awarded on a yearly basis.  When you fund an Endowed Scholarship, the Foundation does not use your actual money to award students with scholarships. Instead, your money is invested. The interest earned from your invested money is used to fund scholarships.
The Foundation currently has two ways to endow a scholarship.  A $25,000 endowment will award a $1,000 yearly scholarship and a $32,500 endowment will award a $1,250 yearly scholarship.
The donor also has the option to define criteria as to how the scholarship will be awarded.  For example, the Foundation currently has a scholarship that is only awarded to a nursing student.  Another scholarship has criteria that it should go to a student from either the Dayton AHEPA chapter or the Dayton Daughters chapter.  If no students from Dayton qualify, the scholarship is then awarded to any qualified student.

 

Planned Giving
By definition, “planned giving” is any major gift given, either during the donor’s lifetime or after death, as part of the donor’s overall financial and/or estate planning. Planned giving can include bequests, gifts of appreciated stock, real estate, artwork, life insurance and a retirement plan.
This type of giving is best discussed with your financial advisor, accountant and/or lawyer.
