Our foundation, established and
incorporated under federal regulations as a public foundation
for benevolent and educational purposes, is authorized to take
and hold under bequest, devise, gift, purchase or lease, either
absolutely or in trust, any property, real or personal.
All foundation funds will be used
in a way that will best advance the causes and principles for
which the foundation was created. The main thrust of the foundation
is providing support for the treatment of children with communication
disorders, that is, aphasia, dyslexia, and a number of other related
language and learning problems. Another objective is funding scholarships,
especially in the area of childhood learning disorders and for
doctoral work in the field of public school administration. To
raise funds for its activities, the foundation encourages contributions,
gifts, or bequests from those who wish to give to the causes it
espouses.
The federal government has qualified
the foundation as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization exempt from
federal and state income tax. Therefore contributions to the foundation
as gifts and bequests are deductible to the full extent of the
law for federal income tax purposes as well as for federal estate
tax and state inheritance and gift tax purposes. Gifts and bequests
should be designated as follows:
SCOTTISH RITE FOUNDATION,
SOUTHERN JURISDICTION, U.S.A., INC.
We invite correspondence with
those who are interested in making donations to the foundation
and who desire further information.
