How your donations help NWOI
Every non-profit association has three general categories of
expenses:
- Programs and activities to fulfill
their mission (including development of new ideas and programs)
- Management (necessary “activities of
daily living” needed to keep the organization running)
- Fundraising (including writing grants)
As a non-profit association, we need funds to support activities
that are not completely self-sufficient. Many of these needs
fall under our education mission in our outreach to the public.
Some of the needs are within the research mission, particularly
as we seek to facilitate broader community-based research among
public health and clinical scientists.
Tribute gifts
You can make a tribute gift in memory of your friend or family
member, in honor of someone very special to you or to recognize
someone for a special occasion.
- Memorialize a loved one or close friend.
- Celebrate a birthday, anniversary, engagement or any
special event.
- Honor a graduation, marriage, childbirth and more.
You can make your gift over the phone, by mail or on our Web
site. We will send a special acknowledgement card recognizing
your gift to anyone you would like. (The amount of your gift
will not be included on the card.) In addition, all tribute
gifts will be acknowledged in a special section of our end-of-year
newsletter and our website.
Advantages to NWOI of unrestricted donations
Gifts that are not restricted to certain activities are the
most positive financially and the most helpful to NWOI. This
is because anything else, generally speaking, creates additional
costs for us which may be under-funded. Giving donations without
attached restrictions does not mean that donors cannot or should
not be actively involved in communicating with us about plans
for the funds and program strategy. But it often means that
we can move funds as necessary to cover costs in all three basic
areas.
