SladeChild Foundation Funds

The SladeChild Foundation offers several funds to help  donors target their generous gifts, assuring them that  100% of their donation will go exactly where they intend.  The following is a brief description of the specific  trust funds managed by the SladeChild Foundation.

Children’s Relief Fund: This is our general fund from  which our monthly grants are made to the many children  relief projects we support. Unless otherwise directed,  100% of a donor’s contribution will be deposited in this  fund. This fund cannot be used to pay for any  administrative expenses.

Administrative Fund: All (100%) administrative expenses  are paid out of this fund. Each month, each Trustee  contributes $50.00 to the Administrative Fund. Plus, all  interest earned on our Children’s Relief Fund and our  Endowment Fund is deposited into this account. (For those  donors who have contributed to this fund to help us cover  our administrative expenses, Thank You!).

Endowment Fund: The Endowment Fund serves as a perpetual  financial base for the SladeChild Foundation . Interest  from the Endowment Fund is applied towards covering  administrative expenses. The principal of the Endowment  Fund may only be withdrawn upon formal action of the Board  of Trustees, and only for purposes of furthering the  charitable work of the SladeChild Foundation .

Tom Landers Fund For Hearing Impaired Children: Professor  Tom Landers served as a Dean at Gallaudet University in  Washington, D.C. Upon his death from cancer in 1993, Dean  Landers left a bequest to the SladeChild Foundation in his  will, establishing a scholarship fund for hearing impaired  children graduating from projects supported by the  SladeChild Foundation who desire to continue on with  higher education.

Emergency Fund: The Emergency Fund covers medical and  other emergency expenses whenever a child at any of the  projects we support is hurt or injured.
