“MONEY
MATTERS”
Dr. Richard Fleming of New
Mexico Junior College in Hobbs emailed us after viewing our impressive new
website, “How may I participate financially in the Frank Waters Foundation?”
These weighty words are the answer to a president’s prayers.
They could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
For starters, lately I’ve been concentrating my wishes (Wishing Well
by Paul
If that’s too steep, $50,000 would build a second cabin to house our
creative residents. Another Frank
Waters Southwest Writing Contest is overdue; they cost at least $10,000 each.
Our first publishing venture is costing close to $6,000, which needs
replacing. We pay our one office
helper approximately $2,000 annually; this amount could be replenished as a
yearly contribution.
We could use $1,500 to cover a deficit in this past summer’s Russian
music presentation, or to fund a repeat next summer of this unusual happening.
All of the remaining Frank Waters books and his bronze bust, bought by us
for resale from Frank’s close friend John Gilchriese, need purchasing (see
“Store” for sale items). Published
three or four times annually, our newsletters cost nearly $1,000 each; the
current November issue needs funding, as do all future editions.
The Foundation has supportive memberships for sale on a descending scale,
and other items that include books by and about Frank Waters.
These all make unique gifts or additions to collections
We need an expert volunteer grantwriter, and an expert volunteer
Endowment Fund director. We need a
Frank Waters course in every college in the country.
Aren’t you glad Dr. Fleming asked for specifics?
I am.
Barbara Waters
Executive Director FWF We plan to publish a list of donors in the future.
