FUND RAISING

Fundraising

As the specific goals of the Education Foundation come into focus, the magnitude of its potential is more clearly recognized. Leaders in the industry are invited to SHARE THE VISION and work with the Foundation Board of Trustees to help ensure the appropriateness and timeliness of specific educational, research and professional development projects, and to secure the resources needed for these key essentials. 

To fulfill its mandate, the Board of Trustees has established a resource development program-funding TARGET. This will require on-going industry investments in the Foundation totaling $5.0 million over the 5-year period to December 2003. 

Mechanical contractors, concerned corporations associated with the industry, Affiliate associations and individuals can become part of this new endeavor in a variety of ways. Financial or ‘in-kind’ commitments may be made as lump sum or pledged payments over a number of years….whichever best suits individual circumstances.

In the next few months regional representatives will be contacting contractors to discuss Foundation initiatives…improve the competitive environment, profitability and future viability of mechanical contracting industry through promoting and facilitating continuous “life-long learning and research programs. Any donations will be classified as membership dues that are 100% tax deductible as business expense (+GST). 

All supporters of the Foundations will receive prominent recognition amongst their peers in the industry and will be accorded national public acknowledgement at MCAC Annual Conferences, in publications, and other special Foundation events. 

Foundation revenues, devoted entirely to its education programs, will be managed soundly and carefully will be invested to supplement income flow. Periodic and audited Annual Reports will describe the use of Foundation funds in an accountable, transparent manner.
