THE CENTURY FUND
Dear Fellow Member
Thanks to all of the members who donated to the Century Fund 2013 - 2014. We're pleased to announce that the fund's balance on 2 April 2015 was $1,750,000.
As you know, USPS celebrated its centenary last year. The Century Fund has been created in recognition of that accomplishment to ensure that there is an ongoing source of support for the activities of USPS, now and into the next century. Our goal is to raise 10 million dollars in the ensuing years. Investment income from gifts made to this fund will be used to fund initiatives that support strategic issues facing our organization.
Donation - We encourage your donations. You may use the secure online process at
http://www.usps.org/dues/donation_processa.php
to select a donation level or make a pledge for future donations. We have established four achievement levels for donations and headquarters will keep a cumulative total of your donations over the corning years so that you might reach a chosen level. The four levels are as follows:
The Century Club - With a donation of $100 or more you will become a member of the Century Club. You will receive a distinctive pin to indicate that you are a supporter. Members who have already donated to this level should have received their distinctive Century Club pins.
The USPS Memorial Walkway - With a donation of $1,000 or more you will be entitled to an engraved tile that will be placed on the memorial walkway that will be established in front of our headquarters building.
The USPS Memorial Wall - With a donation of $2,000 or more you will be entitled to an engraved brick that will be placed on the memorial wall that will be established inside the entrance to our headquarters building.
The USPS Memorial Plaque - With a donation of $10,000 or more you will be presented a bronze plaque at an annual meeting containing your name and chosen inscription. This plaque will hang on a wall within our headquarters building. A second, smaller plaque will be given to the donor.
Estate Planning - When you do your estate planning please remember USPS. As we are a 501(c)(3) charitable organization all gifts to USPS are deductible, with some limitations, for tax purposes.
Thank you in advance for your support of our fine organization.
Sincerely,
The
Century Fund Steering Committee
