How Your Gift Helps the ALA
This special fund secures the service work of the American Legion Auxiliary for future generations. It opens a different door of opportunity to individuals, corporations and other foundations wishing to financially support the ALA. Here’s how it operates: The donations paid into the fund, remain in the fund, and are referred to as endowment principal. Being endowed, simply means that it is the interest dollars earned from the investment of those donations that are used to support the ALA programs directly benefitting our veterans and their families.
Here’s an example of the way your donation can “work” for the ALA: If you contribute $100 to the Mission Endowment Fund in January and, at the end of the year, that $100 has earned $5* in interest, then that $5 of interest income is what would be spent on ALA programs. Your original $100 donation would remain in the fund and continue to grow, earning interest year after year. It is easy to see how, over a period of time, the interest earned exceeds the initial gift. That’s why this type of giving is crucial to the growth and continuation of Auxiliary programs.
Our Ultimate Goal
Individuals and corporations commit to making an annual gift to the ALAF Mission Endowment Fund. Making this commitment to “endow our endowment” is the best dollar-for-dollar investment for ALA supporters dedicated to the continuation of our vital programs serving veterans and their families.
So…to give a gift that keeps on giving….support the ALA Foundation Mission Endowment Fund!
* This number is only an example-In some cases, a certain percentage of the assets are allowed to be used each year, so the amount pulled out of the endowment could be a combination of interest income and principal. The ratio of principal to income would change year to year based on prevailing market rates.
Ensure our warriors’ sacrifices are honored every day: now and into the future.
