Other Alternatives to Support
Scouting
|
|
Friends of Scouting |
|
"Friends of Scouting" is the
annual Lasalle Council, Boy Scouts of
America fundraising campaign. Local Scouting and community
volunteers who strongly believe that the Scouting program instills
the values and ethics that are important to the development of
young people lead the campaign. They ask others to join them in
making a financial investment in the LaSalle Council, or in other
words to become a "Friend of Scouting". |
|
Community Enrollment |
|
Community enrollment deals with local constituents within a
community or a district. It has a broad base of local prospects,
most of whom have been evaluated at a giving level of $100 or
more. This does include several levels of giving within the
community phase, since many upper-level givers might want their
enrollment to count in their district/section. A prospect strongly
linked to, and interested in, the community campaign should be
assigned there. |
|
Family Enrollment |
|
The family enrollment is designed specifically for parents of
youth members and Scouters connected to local units. Many councils
experience significant success with their family enrollment
program. The family campaign is an integral part of the parents'
ability and interest to support the Scouting program beyond the
nominal registration fee. |
|
|
Matching Gifts From
Employers |
|
Many employers/business
foundations will match their employees’ charitable contributions.
For instance, if you give $500 to the LaSalle
Council and your employer had this program, the Council would
receive the benefit of $1000. If you are a contributor to the
LaSalle Council, or are considering a
contribution, check with your employer to see if this program
exists or if the employer might be interested in starting it. |

|
The Memorial/Tribute Fund |
|
The Memorial/Tribute Fund of
LaSalle Council is a way to recognize
the Scouting experiences of a deceased Scout or Scouter. It can
also be used to pay tribute to accomplishments in the lives of
current Scouts and Scouters. Donations of any amount may be made
to recognize a graduation, anniversary, birthday, birth or
retirement. All Memorial and Tribute contributors are listed in
the LaSalle Council Scroll
along with the occasion of the gift. The amount of the gift is not
listed. |

James E. West Fellowship
Award |
|
The James E. West Fellowship
Award is a national recognition for individuals who contribute
$1,000 or more in cash or securities to the
LaSalle Council Endowment Trust Fund. This contribution is
in addition to, and does not diminish or replace, the donor’s
annual gift to the Council’s Friends of Scouting Campaign.
The award is named after the
first Chief Scout Executive of the Boy Scouts of America who
exemplified Ralph Waldo Emerson’s observation that "an institution
is the lengthened shadow of one man." Scouting today is the
"lengthened shadow" of more than three decades of the far-seeing
and dedicated leadership of Dr. James E. West.
Those who are recognized by the
James E. West Fellowship Award will cast their own "lengthened
shadow" as they help ensure the Scouting legacy for future
generations of young people and create the financial stability of
the program in the twenty-first century for the
LaSalle Council. |

Encouraging gifts to BSA local council
endowment funds is one of Scouting's highest priorities. It is
one of the only ways to ensure that your council can continue to
offer the outstanding programs they now have and also grow to
meet the needs of the youth and communities it serves.
In its gratitude for such support, the
BSA nationally offers three distinct endowment recognition
awards. These awards are presented by the local council to
donors who support Scouting's financial future with council
endowment gifts. |
