ESTABLISHING AN AWARDS ENDOWMENT FUND
The RNA Society is currently soliciting donations to gauge support for the establishment of an Awards Endowment Fund. This fund would sustain our current awards program and support new award categories in recognition of the research, leadership, and service accomplishments of our members. An Awards Endowment Fund would provide a framework for management of donations and guidelines to ensure sustainable growth and longevity not achievable through the General Fund. If approved, the Awards Endowment Fund will be established with an initial amount of $250,000 and will grow through continued fundraising. All donations marked above for the Awards Endowment Fund will be applied towards establishment of this endowment. If not approved or if fundraising goals are not met, donations will revert to the General Fund.
THE GENERAL FUND
The General Fund of the RNA Society supports its annual operational and programing costs. Donations to the General Fund may be used by the Society for any purpose, including support for member recruitment and retention, new programing, member enhancement initiatives, and/or administrative and operating costs. Donations to this fund help to ensure the Society can successfully fulfill its current operations while exploring new opportunities to serve our members and RNA researchers worldwide.
