Re: 2009
Annual Giving Campaign (September 1, 2008 – August 31, 2009)
The 2009 Annual Giving Campaign, conducted from September 1, 2008 through August 31, 2009 – a period of great economic uncertainty in the U.S. – received private gifts totaling $259,302 from 549 donors.
Despite the economic recession, there were many highlights of the 2009 campaign:
- Unrestricted Gifts totaled $175,932, an increase of 18% or $27,000 over the prior year. This represents the 2nd largest amount in USUF history This amount has been directed to the Foundation’s general operations and programs, as follows:
General Operations $ 131,912
Economic Development $ 10,085
Education $ 25,008
Health Care/Humanitarian Aid $ 8,482
Public Policy $ 445
- Total gifts for General Operations of $131,912 - a growth of almost $15,000 over last year and the 2nd largest amount in USUF history.
- Total Gifts of $259,302- only $5,400 less than the previous year, but still the 4th largest annual sum ever received by the Foundation.
- Total Donors of 549 - a small increase in donors over the previous year.
Without these funds, the Foundation would find it impossible to continue its important work. I wish to thank all our donors, with special appreciation to the: Robert & Nadia McConnell, Self Reliance (NY) Federal Credits Union of New York City, Chopivsky Family Foundation, Heritage Foundation of First Security Federal Savings Bank of Chicago, IL, Maria Gonzales Trust, Maria Hulai Lion Foundation, , Sutaruk Foundation, U.S.-Ukraine Business Council and individuals Olena Boyko, Peter Jarosewycz and the Dmytro & Jaroslava Jarosewycz Memorial Charitable Gift Fund, Arthur & Halyna Breslawec Levine, Leonard & Helena Mazur, and Stefan & Wolodymyra Slywotzky.
- Restricted Gifts of $83,370 were donated to the following
areas:
Melania Denys Kovaluk Scholarship Fund: $300
Sutaruk Scholarhship
Fund: $50,000
Western Ukraine Disaster Assistance Fund: $28,070
Zapytiv
Community Development Fund: $5,000
I want to thank the Foundation’s 549 donors who generously contributed at a very difficult economic time in the history of the U.S. and Ukraine. Your financial support is very much appreciated. I am hopeful that you will keep the U.S.-Ukraine Foundation in your gift-giving plans for 2010.
