Clymer Museum Endowment
On October 10, 1996, the Clymer Museum Foundation Board of Directors created the Endowment Fund Committee to work toward a "long-term goal of raising funds, investing and preserving the principle to help continue the tradition of western art and our western heritage in honoring our own eminent artist, John Ford Clymer, in downtown Ellensburg at the Clymer Museum of Art." Dedicated individuals, most of whom were instrumental in the creation of the Clymer Museum, stepped forward to take on this task. For the most part, those same people are still active today; working diligently to further the work of the Clymer Museum.
Joy McGiffin Eckert and John Ludtka, two former owners of the Daily Record newspaper, originally kicked off the fund drive with a generous gift of $35,000 in 1996 and The Clymer Museum Endowment Fund was on the move! According to Endowment Chairperson, Sandy Kachlein, "The Clymer Museum needs a secure base for everyday operation. Only the money generated from the principle will be used to help maintain and operate the museum." While other sources of income will continue to play a major financial role, the Endowment Fund can provide a solid annual base. The Clymer Endowment Fund Committee, under the Clymer Foundation Board, is prepared to accept current and deferred gifts. All gifts and donations are tax-exempt, to the extent allowed by law. The Clymer Foundation is a non-profit 501-C3 corporation operating under government guidelines, and our Gift Acceptance Policy is structured to provide maximum benefits to all parties. We have been delighted to receive cash gifts, memorial donations, stocks and securities toward our goal of $250,000. And now we need your help to meet that goal! Just call or write to any of the Endowment Fund Committee members or contact
Museum Office Manager, Mia Merendino at clymermuseum2@charter.net.
