        Foundation Funding at Work: Planned Giving

        Are you interested in becoming part of something important that is tied to education
                  worldwide? The DKG International Educators Foundation (DKGIEF) offers the opportunity
        to make a significant difference and contribute to your legacy through planned giving,
        which occurs in numerous ways when you designate monetary gifts to the Foundation.
            Do you have a favorite fund that you want to support now and in the future? How do you take that idea and
        realize it? How do you go about building an impactful legacy? Consider establishing that legacy through one of
        these options:
           •  Contribute a living gift, money that provides immediate financial support.

           •  Designate a specific amount in your will as a bequest to the DKGIEF.
           •  Purchase or transfer a life insurance policy naming the DKGIEF as
        the beneficiary.
           •  Purchase a leaf for the Wall of Roses, a visual art display housed
        at DKG Society Headquarters. When your $10,000 commitment toward
        a particular fund is made, a “leaf” is reserved for placement on the wall
        once the full amount has been received.

            Contributions to the nine funds managed by DKGIEF are tax-deduct-
        ible to the fullest extent of the law in the United States and in some of
        the other member countries. Your planned gift will ensure the continued
        work of the Foundation to support educators and education worldwide.
        Contact Phyllis Hickey, Strategic Outreach Director, for more information
        on moving forward via planned giving (512-478-5748, ext. 115, or phyl-
        lish@dkg.org).
            Ensure a lasting legacy for generations to come through planned giving to DKGIEF!

           •  Several state organizations are hosting arts retreats where members attend workshops to learn about and
        create different art projects.
           •  The DKG Gallery of Fine Arts is an online publication and display of DKG members’ creative works. The
        Gallery includes literary works; two- and three-dimensional art; performance art; photography; and crafts. DKG
        members are encouraged to showcase their art this summer at the international convention.

           •  Virtual arts workshops and webinars from varied state organizations are available to all members.
           •  The West Virginia State Organization Local Leading Ladies initiative recognizes members for their volunteer
        efforts and celebrates the impact they are making in their schools, churches, and communities. Members are
        nominated by their peers and are sent a certificate and a button to wear when volunteering to showcase the award.
            In DKG, we are continuing to create and innovate relevant, meaningful connections. The silver lining of this
        worldwide shift is the creation of new ways of being, new ways of seeing, new ways of learning, and new ways
        of connecting…Forward Moving Ever.  How might these ideas be used in your DKG community?
