Establishing a Fund through the WLA Foundation

To establish a named fund, whether in your name or someone else's, you may contact the WLA Office. The WLAF Board will evaluate the proposal and determine if the purpose of the fund fits within the mission of the Foundation. WLAF policy also states that such a fund must have a minimum of $10,000 in contributions before it can be designated as a separate fund in someone’s name.

Once the WLAF Board has approved the establishment of the fund under the auspices of WLAF, the persons wishing to establish it may conduct approved fund raising activities using the WLAF’s name. Contributions for such a purpose can be made payable to WLAF and are, therefore, considered charitable contributions for tax purposes.

If the fund does not reach $10,000, the money raised will be designated to an existing WLAF fund or funds.
