| WHY A FUTURE FUND ENDOWMENT PROGRAM IS NEEDED
While NMRA membership and tournament attendance are showing very rapid growth, the workload has increased right along with this growth. Also, there are many long and short-term projects and goals that must be realized in order to sustain the organization and to achieve greater success, organizational stability and productivity.
The NMRA Board of Directors has appointed an Advisory Task Force to provide leadership in the development and formation of an endowment program. Our organization has recently been granted a "not for profit" tax exempt status. This tax exempt status permits individuals, groups or corporations to make financial contributions and personal gifts that may be tax deductible, providing the donor itemizes the contributions. Donations can be offered in a lump sum, pledged over a period of years, or, should the donor chose, included in ones will or estate.
The NMRA Board of Directors has responsibility for the Future Fund Endowment Program and related funds. All contributions will be invested. ONLY the dividend earnings will be placed in the NMRA annual operating budget, to be used to implement the programs and the following goals.
GOALS OF THE NMRA
 To assure and perpetuate the health and vitality of the NMRA as an organization.
To provide quality tournaments and services to the members of the NMRA.
To maintain an adequate staff to achieve the operation goals, activities and services provided by the organization.
SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT-AND SOMETHING YOU CAN DO
Think seriously about those things in your life that are important to you
Ponder those things that have made your life better. Remember how you have always felt fortunate to be a part of activities and relationships that have given you great pleasure and warm memories. Hopefully, you will agree that it would be nice if you and others could continue to have those good experiences, and that these activities and groups will be available in the future for others to experience and enjoy. It is hoped that your list of good things in your life might include:
|
A warm feeling about the National Masters Racquetball Association and what the NMRA does. |
|
An enjoyment of sports and racquetball - both as a participant and a supporter. |
|
An opportunity to be a group member and to compete in age-level sports competition. |
|
An appreciation of the good times that can be derived from friends and fellow competitors |
|
A realization that good things need to be supported or they will disappear. That it takes a strong membership base and support for the good things to be a part of the future for us and others. |
Whether you are a player or someone who simply appreciates and values the need to have sports events and informational services for age group individuals-this is an opportunity to show your support of the
NMRA FUTURE FUND ENDOWMENT PROGRAM.
