CFB Endowment Update, April, 2011
In less than two years into the College Farm Boys Endowment initiative, college farm boys/girls, friends, families and others have contributed $18,500 in cash and or pledges to the COLLEGE FARM BOYS ENDOWMENT. This is a tremendous first step toward raising the minimum $25,000 required to establish a permanent endowment at Sam Houston.
Remember, all contributions go the College Farm Boys Endowment. There are no administrative fees or charges taken from any contribution. Once the endowment is permanently established the funds will be used for scholarships for students who need assistance and desire to work at a university agriculture laboratory facility.
If you have made a contribution to the endowment , your support is appreciated. Your assistance is also needed to contact and encourage your classmates and others to contribute and help make the endowment a reality.
Contributions may be made as an individual, family, friend, in memory or honor of and as a business, an as usually tax deductable.
Many employers have Matching Gift Programs which allows donors to double or even triple their contributions. Check with the Human Resources Department of your employer regarding this program.
