Funding Progress
Fund Raising Progress
As of March 2, 2012
Our current fund raising program was closed out with completion of construction of the Montgomery Veterans Memorial. Thanks to the generous contributions of money, goods, and services from the members of our community and those outside our community who support our efforts, we were able to complete the entire construction program with the resources that were available to us. One of the most remarkable features of our highly successful fund raising program was the number of individuals and organizations who gave multiple times during the course of our campaign, which began in 2002.
Although construction is now complete, our work with the Veterans Memorial is just beginning. We wish to continue improving the site with additional landscaping and other physical improvements, and we also want to begin some programs closely associated with the Veterans Memorial that will add value to our community. These undertakings require resources, and we anticipate opening additional fund-raising drives in the future in order to support these new and important initiatives.
We have closed our account with the Princeton Area Community Foundation and are in the process of creating a Dedicated Trust for the Montgomery Veterans Memorial which will be administered by Montgomery Township. The Dedicated Trust will be for the exclusive benefit of our Veterans Memorial, and will have the ability to accept bequests, legacies, and gifts which will be fully tax deductible for the donors. The funds may not be used for any purpose other than to support the Montgomery Veterans Memorial.
