Why
donate to CDAF? |
|
Did you know
that a scholarship fund has to contain a
minimum of $25,000.00 to be fully endowed? It is at this level that the California Dietetic Association
Foundation can assume that sufficient interest will be earned to award
scholarships and sustain the fund. When a scholarship is considered fully endowed, the Foundation can
begin to award scholarships from the fund. There are several ways that you
can help to make this happen: |
|
1. |
The
newest and easiest way is to sign up for eScrip at
www.escrip.com.
After you sign up for eScrip, a participating store will donate a
percentage of your purchase to CDAF. There is no charge to you to
participate in eScrip! Vons in Southern California
and Safeway in Northern California are just two of the participating
merchants. CDAF's group number is #6425415. Sign up today! Many California organizations earn over $25,000.00 per year from eScrip.
That would be enough for CDAF to fund one new scholarship per year! |
|
2. |
Donate
money by designating CDAF through the United Way campaign. |
|
3. |
Honor
a loved one or recognize a colleague's achievements by donating money to
the CDAF Recognition Fund.
Retrieve the CDAF Donation Recognition Form in pdf format. Print out this form, and send to Pat
Smith at the CDA office. See

Leave
a Legacy :: What You Can Do Today |
|
1. |
Make
a will!
Almost half the people in the US die without a will, thus missing one
of the best and easiest ways to leave money to a charity of your choice.
If you die with no will, state law determines how your assets are
to be distributed and your favorite charity will receive nothing from you. |
|
2. |
Having
written your will (with appropriate legal advice), be sure to include a
paragraph, which describes each bequest (a specific gift) to a family
member or friend or to your favorite charity. |
|
3. |
In addition to having a
will, you may set up a living trust (with a lawyer’s
help and advice) in which you can list specific gifts
from your estate to the charitable organizations you
wish to benefit. |
|
4. |
Your
estate consists of all your property and possessions at the time of your
death.
You may leave any possession to a charity such as securities,
jewelry, art, a vehicle, boat, home or real estate. |
|
5. |
You
can donate an existing (or a new) life insurance policy by making the
charity you select the policy’s owner or beneficiary. |
|
6. |
You
can benefit any charity by establishing a permanent endowment fund. Its
future income will go to meet a specific need or provide for the programs
you have designated in advance. |
|
7. |
You
can establish a “planned gift” with a charity that gives you (and
another person if you wish) lifetime income, an immediate tax deduction
and the gift will benefit the charity when you (both) die. |
|
8. |
You
may name a charity as beneficiary of your IRA or other pension account and
receive a number of favorable tax benefits. |
|
9. |
You
can leave money to your favorite charity by encouraging family and friends
to make their own wills and include bequests to their favorite charities. |
|
In
order to be able to award these scholarships, they must reach a funding
level of $25,000. Please consider contributing to the memories of these two wonderful
individuals.
