Memorial Gift/Tree Carrie Nelson Black Endowment

 


Carrie Nelson Black Endowment

Created during the 2006 Centennial Year… to keep the Carrie Nelson Black legacy alive.

Created as part of the 100th Anniversary Celebration, The Breathing Association is proud to announce an Endowment.

Endowment donors demonstrate the vision to care for those who will be in need tomorrow. Their generosity ensures that those less fortunate will have a chance to live a healthier life. As The Breathing Association steps into the next one hundred years of service, it is critical to ensure that our work continues for future generations and the lung health challenges they will face.

Endowment gifts are permanently invested and the capital is not drawn from. Endowment donors permanently restrict the donation for endowment purposes. As the endowment grows it provides an expanding source of interest revenue for stable funding to continue the programs of the Association during times of changes in funding and the environment, assuring the Association’s survival during any drastic changes.

A gift of cash, stocks, bonds, or a Planned Gift today establishes membership in the Endowment. There are four giving levels ranging from $5,000 to $50,000 or more. This is a lasting tribute that honors family members, friends, or mentors. It is a wonderful way to commemorate a family legacy. Because Carrie is the founder, not only of The Breathing Association, but also of Mother’s Day in Ohio, this is the perfect tribute to a mother, wife, sister, grandmother or special woman. A token of appreciation has been created that can be presented at the time of membership or as a Mother’s Day gift. Tributes to honor special men are also encouraged and a gift of appreciation is available to announce your legacy in their behalf. Also, please consider membership for yourself.

Another way to participate in the endowment is to make a planned or estate gift. The gift may be through a will, life insurance, cash asset, or trust that names The Breathing Association as a beneficiary. These estate gifts may be of any value. After you have taken care of your family, please remember us for a specific dollar amount or percentage of the assets. Please let us know of your plans so that we can honor you during your lifetime.
