In the effort to increase the AASV Foundation endowment to $2 million by the 2019 AASV Annual Meeting, foundation chairman Dr John Waddell has issued the AASV Foundation Past Presidents Challenge. Waddell is calling upon each of his fellow AASV past presidents to recruit at least 3 new Leman, Heritage, or Legacy donors. To count towards the goal, the donors can be members who have yet to support the Foundation at any level, or those wanting to increase their support from Leman to Heritage or from Heritage to Legacy.
Waddell will recognize the past presidents who achieve the goal of 3 new donors, and plans to give special recognition to those who secure the most donors within each giving category.
What are you waiting for? Here’s your opportunity to honor your favorite past president and support the AASV Foundation at the same time! You’ll find a brief description of each foundation giving level below, followed by the roster of AASV past presidents. When you enroll (or increase your contribution to the next level), specify which past president should receive the credit for your participation.
Leman
Named for the late industry leader and former AASV president Dr Allen D Leman, this giving program confers the title of "Leman Fellow" upon those who make a contribution of $1000 or more to the foundation endowment. Send your check to the AASV Foundation, 830 26th Street, Perry, IA 50220 or contribute online at http://ecom.aasv.org/foundation.
Heritage
The Heritage Fellow program recognizes contributions of $5000 or more. In addition to monetary donations, other giving options such as life insurance policies, estate bequests, and retirement plan assets may be utilized. To enroll, complete the Heritage Letter of Intent available at https://www.aasv.org/foundation/documents/heritageform.pdf.
Legacy
A donor, multiple donors, or a veterinary practice may establish and name a Legacy Fund with a gift of $50,000 or more. The fund may be named after the donor or another individual or group. The donor designates which of three foundation mission categories the fund’s proceeds will support: 1) research, 2) education, or 3) long-range issues.
