Future2 recognises founding donors
Future2 Foundation, a charitable trust set up by financial planners to support the underprivileged, has revised its supporter categories to recognise the generosity of donors and their contributions, and has increased the benefits for different levels of donors.
A Founding Donor category has been established, which applies to contributions of $1,000 donated until June 30, 2009, and the distinction between corporate and individual donors has been replaced by categories based on different donation levels.
The chair of Future2, Terry Power, said the benefits package would add incentives for the financial services industry to donate to the organisation. “Future2 is still in its infancy and we rely absolutely on the generosity of our early donors to make our first grants to community projects.
“By recognising Founding Donors in perpetuity, we are placing a high value on their commitment and support at this critical time for us.”
Future2 is preparing to meet with senior fund manager representatives and licensees at a series of lunches in Melbourne and Sydney.
“We look forward to sharing with our guests the vision and enthusiasm that trustees have for making a difference to the lives of some of the most disadvantaged Australians, and to showing how the financial planning and wider financial services sector can contribute in very practical ways,” Power said.
