Legacy Endowment Fund now has donors at the Trustee level

With their December 2014 donation to the ITG Legacy Fund, Dr. and Mrs. Stephen Jones became the first to reach the Trustee level of giving.  The Trustee level is for donors who have made gifts totalling $10,000 or more to the fund.  Shortly after that gift, Kim and Jane Dunnick joined the Jones at the Trustee level.

The Legacy Endowment was created to support additional conference scholarships for students as well as significantly increase the amount of money available for affirming, enhancing and supporting ITG’s mission “to improve the artistic level of performance, teaching, and literature associated with the trumpet.” Toward this effort, projects may include, but are not limited to, commissions, jazz and solo competitions, book reprints, free CDs, financial aid to ITG local chapters and scholarships for students to attend ITG conferences.

Donations to the Legacy Endowment are encumbered funds.  That is, only a portion of the interest from the fund may be used for projects; the principle may not be touched.  In this way, the fund will grow over the years, thus increasing the funds available to scholarships and other worthy projects.

Donations are cumulative.  That is, each year’s donation is added to previous years as the donor builds toward the next level of giving.
