Re: 2008 Annual Giving Campaign (September 1, 2007 – August 31, 2008)
The 2008 Annual Giving Campaign, conducted from September 1, 2007 through August 31, 2008, received private gifts totaling $264,684 from 540 donors.
Highlights of the 2008 campaign are:
- Unrestricted Gifts totaled $147,769, roughly $15,700 greater than last year. This amount has been directed to the Foundation’s general operations and programs, as follows:
General Operations $116,599
Economic Development $363
Education $21,915
Health Care/Humanitarian Aid $3,755
Public Policy $5,137
- Unrestricted Gifts of $147,769 represent the 2nd largest amount in USUF history.
- Total gifts for General Operations of $116,599 - a growth of $29,343 over last year's total and the 2nd largest amount in USUF history.
- Total Gifts of $264,684 - the 3rd largest annual sum ever received by the Foundation.
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: Chopivsky Family Foundation, Heritage Foundation of First Security Federal Savings Bank of Chicago, IL, Maria Hulai Lion Foundation, Self Reliance (NY) Federal Credits Union of New York City, Sigma Ventures, Sutaruk Foundation, U.S.-Ukraine Business Council and individuals Roxolana Horbowyj, Yuri & Inna Deychakiwsky, Peter Jarosewycz and the Dmytro & Jaroslava Jarosewycz Memorial Charitable Gift Fund, Teodozyj & Irena Kolasa, Leonard & Helena Mazur, Marta Pereyma, Stefan & Wolodymyra Slywotzky, and Stephan & Tamara Tymkiw.
- Restricted Gifts of $116,915 represent the 3rd largest amount ever, and were donated to the following areas:
Melania Denys Kovaluk Scholarship Fund: $50
Sutaruk Scholarhship Fund: $97,000
Western Ukraine Disaster Assistance Fund: $11,865
Zapytiv Community Development Fund: $8,000
I am confident that all our donors and friends will validate the efforts of the U.S.-Ukraine Foundation through their continued generosity during the 2009 Annual Giving Campaign!
