DIFFERENT WAYS TO DONATE TO CSF OF BGM

Have you ever considered the many different ways that a donation may be given to the Citizens Scholarship Foundation of BGM (a Dollars for Scholars Chapter)? Over the past 11 years the Scholarship Foundation as received donations from people leaving it in their estate, donating stock, or by payroll deductions from your work place. You could get together as a class and donate money in the class name or as a memorial for a classmate, or even the old fashioned way of just sending a donation.

The Foundation is happy to receive your donations anyway you wish to give them. All donations however big or small help to create a larger interest amount to be given out to our seniors each May. Any senior who applies for a scholarship with the CSF of BGM will receive one or more. So as you can see, the sooner your donations are received, the more interest we can earn to be given away.

With the cost of education continuing to rise, any support our seniors can receive from the Foundation is helpful to them in fulfilling their dreams. Through your contributions and help there is hope for each of our students. Your gift is making a difference in the future of our graduates.

The Foundation is grateful for your past donations and your continued support in the following years to come. If you would like to have your donations directed to a certain fund or memorial within the Foundation please let us know.

Anyone wishing to make a contribution to any fund or memorial within the Foundation, please contact Sherry Burke, Board of Trustee representative for the City of Guernsey, or any other board member. You can also write to Box 469, Brooklyn, IA 52211.
