3.  The JCAC Foundation Committee is proposing a non-profit, tax exempt foundation with 501c3 status. The proposed foundation:  Will allow JCAC to receive, invest, and distribute funds for charitable and educational purposes.  This foundation would be an entirely separate organization from the Chapter with a fully functional Board of Directors. 3

4.  There were previous discussions on possibly purchasing a building where JCAC could hold chapter meetings and other activities.  This facility would also serve as a safe and central repository for the Chapter’s properties such as official documents, candles, robes, gavel, tablecloths and other effects which the Chapter may obtain for the orderly and proper conduct of ceremonies and business  A “Delta House” would provide the foundation the ability to strengthen and expand the programs of the JCAC.  A 501c3 designation would enable JCAC to raise funds to purchase or lease this structure. 4

5.  The proposed foundation will serve as a primary funding vehicle for scholarship and community service initiatives in association with JCAC.  Although the two organizations will work closely together, JCAC will have the ultimate responsibility for directing the initiatives that support the Sorority’s five-point programmatic thrust:  Economic Development  Educational Development  International Awareness and Involvement  Physical and Mental Health  Political Awareness and Involvement 5

6.  Given the foundation will be an entirely separate organization from the Chapter, the name must be separate as well.  The name however, should, be transparent enough to let donors know there’s a correlation to the Chapter that reflect both a connection AND a distinction. 6
