Why I Donate to The Foundation

Shirley Kearney

I believe in The Foundation and its far-reaching multiplier effect. It presents a vast and invaluable worldwide source of women eager to continue their education for the greater good. Education is the key with which to unlock closed doors and dispel misconceptions. At the same time, the recipients of funding are satisfying a personal need and goal of following their heart. My latest donation has reached women in Columbia and Lebanon, something difficult to achieve without tapping into The Foundation connection. Thanks to The Foundation everyone is a winner!

~ Shirley Kearney, AWC Basel

Shirley is a strong and committed believer in the need for on-going education. She realized early on that The Foundation could help her by reaching out to FAWCO members who needed funds in order to resume their education.

Her financial support took off in 1987 with a donation to the scholarship fund through sales of the first edition of the publication Basel: A Cultural Experience. Donations through further sales continued until 1999. In 2005 a second edition carried forth her commitment to Basel and The Foundation. The honorarium from the publisher was transferred directly to The Foundation. An early conviction that ongoing formal education - and that one person can make a difference was firmly established.

Her 30-year love affair with The Foundation is strong. As a former board member and a one-time member of the scholarship selection committee, she was deeply moved after reading the applications. Could there be so many enthusiastic and worthy members in search of further education? Education is the way. The FAWCO Foundation offers an international resource for aiding and helping us to reach this end.

Donations and Funding - An Introduction

Fundraising efforts for The FAWCO Foundation have traditionally relied on the continued generosity of Member Clubs and individuals to maintain FAWCO’s philanthropic programs. Contributions/donations may be designated to Education Awards, Development Grants, Kids Help, General Fund, Memorial Funds, the Endowment Fund and/or any other established fund or project in any given year.
 

Primary Avenues of Funding

  • “Friends of The FAWCO Foundation” recognizes Clubs and individuals who have contributed to FAWCO’s philanthropic efforts in a given year. Becoming a “Friend” is easy; go to our Friends of the Foundation page to learn more and donate now.
  • Silent & Live Auctions and a Quilt Raffle are three lively and popular events that are conducted at annual FAWCO Conferences. The FAWCO Foundation donates a percentage of the Silent Auction proceeds to a charity selected by the Conference Host Club; this is a unique opportunity for FAWCO to contribute to a local project supported by the Conference Host Club.
  • Education Awards & Development Grants Sponsorships are opportunities for Clubs and individuals to underwrite or sponsor in part an Award or Development Grant. To learn more about these valuable programs, see our Education Awards and Development Grants pages.
  • Special Fundraising Projects are efforts organized by The FAWCO Foundation to reach annual philanthropic goals as well as help cover the operating costs of maintaining FAWCO’s philanthropic programs. Past projects include the Emergency Relief Fund, Kids Help Fund and the One Member, One Tree Campaign.
Designated donations to The FAWCO Foundation ensure that Awards, Development Grants and other funds/projects will continue to benefit future generations.
