Policies, Procedures and Bylaws

The Board of Directors created a task force to take on the charge of establishing a policies & procedures reference book complete with a revised draft of our bylaws.  This hasn't been done before but it was clear that to move in the direction we set out for in 2009 - without it our efforts would be slowed.

The goal of creating this book was to identify procedures and policies based on national standards so that we may benchmark from it strategies for growing important areas of the foundation. 

It is our hope that it will extend comfort and confidence to potential and current donors to know that we are now better equipped to:

                                                           create endowments
                                                           accept non-cash gifts such as stocks
                                                           receive restricted donations for specific schools/programs
                                                           establish planned-giving programs
                                                           develop annual giving campaigns
                                                           and more


We have also created from this book a pamphlet that has our bylaws, board roster and a copy of our articles of incorporation.  If you wish to view a copy of this pamphlet you can do so by clicking here.
