Lifetime Club

Enables donors to make lasting contributions to the Trust. A $10,000 level of giving grants the donor membership in the Trust’s Lifetime Club. The funds generated from the Program are deposited in a special permanent endowment, from which only the income generated will be used for scholarships.  The establishment of this endowment now provides the Trust with an important source of permanent funding. Contributions are most commonly made in one initial investment or over a four-year period with installments of $2,500 per year.
