During the remainder of 2024, the Future Focus Task Force (FFTF) and several other alumni will be assisting the CHAA Board in completing the setup of the CHAA Legacy Gift Fund (LGF). Our goals are to create initial funding during 2024 and facilitate Board action in January 2025 to fully stand up and begin administering the Fund.

A lot of details still need to be addressed and captured in a LGF Framework Guidance Document, including creating a clear vision, governance, communication, fund raising, and operational details. A Board Committee is now established to chart a path forward to achieve our goal for legacy longevity and to develop and administer a Framework Guidance Document for the Fund.

This will include a draft 3-year plan for evolving a more substantial fund in the future.  The Legacy Gift Fund will be entirely separate from the operating accounts of CHAA and will be dedicated solely to legacy-related activities.

Preliminary thinking sets a first-year donation target amount of $15,000 to be raised by year end. These funds will then be allocated in 2025 to scholarships in College and University STEM pursuits and perhaps one project grant activity. The standing Board committee administers the Fund and reports to the Board and donors.  As the graphic at the right indicates, as of November substantial donations to the Legacy Gift Fund have already accumulated, and significant additional pledges will be received from CHAA Board members.    As the Framework is developed, donations of any amount to the Fund are vitally important and will be hugely appreciated!     Donations can be made by ..
