So far, everyone's support has been fabulous! Thank you to everyone who has indicated an interest in setting up a family fund with the Golden & District Community Foundation.
The next step to creating our fund, is naming it! This should be the fun part.
I'll just put my idea out there. I am seeing the Crandlemire-Keenleyside Hospital, Health and Wellness Fund. My secret dream is to grow a legacy large enough to really partner with the Hospital to bring back services such as chemotherapy, that are no longer offered in Golden, but that's a 20 year project. With a Family Fund, we can be as involved as we like in the granting process from our Fund, and this is a broad category that could support many needs in our community. It will be exciting to see our Fund grow, and the projects we could support grow along with it.
What would you name our Fund? Make your suggestions in the comments, and we will put them to the vote!
What about something shorter like....the KC Health & Wellness Fund.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like some people on Facebook liked "The KC Family Project" ...so maybe "The KC Family Fund"
ReplyDeleteOr maybe the KC Family Legacy. Do we have to have fund in the name? The idea was to honor our grandparents and parents and their commitment and contribution to Golden.
ReplyDeleteI like something like "Crandlemire, Keenlyside Family Legacy." It would be nice to keep it general like that, to have the fund be something generalized to give anywhere in the community where it's needed.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of having the names so that all the work our Grandpa's did for the community is not forgotten. I am sure learning a lot about them.
ReplyDeleteHow do we go about making donations to the fund, whatever we decide to name it?
ReplyDeleteAuntie Isabelle really liked Nelson's idea:

She was also a big fan of keeping the theme of grants with health and wellness
