Info

DonAtIonS to the FounDAtIon Donations to the McDowell Foundation may be made through bequests, payroll deductions for teachers and STF employees, donations of honoraria for corporate and organizational services, donations of payments for tutoring students, memorial gifts, gifts to honour special occasions or particular individuals, or donations of the proceeds from events held by teachers or superannuates. Table 6 indicates the amount of money received this year from the major types of donation. It shows that most of the Foundation’s revenue from donations appears to come from unsolicited gifts, but there is a significant number of people, mostly from Saskatoon, donating to the McDowell Foundation through payroll deduction, and it is becoming a more common practice to make memorial donations to the Foundation to honour deceased teachers.
