Chapter House Renovation Endowments (Area Grants)

 Educational area endowment grants assist house corporation boards in their fundraising for qualified educational house renovation projects. Gifts are tax-deductible to donors because of special IRS rulings which allow tax-deductible gifts to fund the educational portions of house renovation and annual operating expenses.

 Bonnie Payne, the Foundation Executive Director, has experience in assisting members and their legal or financial counsel in arranging area grant gifts. Contact her at International Headquarters, (303) 799-1874, for more information.

 Tax-deductible gifts are held in a Foundation account from which the House Corporation Board withdraws the funds as needed to pay contractors.
