FUND RAISING SUB-COMMITTEE REPORT
The Fund-Raising Sub-Committee is composed of John Beebe, Adam Frey, Christian
Gaillard, Gert Sauer, Rodtraud Sauer, Beverley Zabriskie and Tom Kelly as chair.
In the past year, the committee members have worked well together to consider how
to raise funds for projects supported by the IAAP. The Committee has become
involved in a number of different initiatives. One of these, the China Relief Project,
grew out of Heyong Shen’s presentation at the IAJS – IAAP Conference in Zürich in July
on the relief work to the traumatized victims of the earthquake in Sichuan province in
China. Following this presentation, people spontaneously offered to donate funds to
support the work being done by Heyong Shen, his students, Routers and members of
the DG in Guangzhou. This spontaneous gesture sprouted the idea of extending the
possibility of donating to this worthy project to the membership of the IAAP as a
statement of care, support and solidarity.
A request for donations was sent to all members of the IAAP accompanied with a
letter from Heyong Shen explaining the services he and his team were providing on
site in the devastated earthquake zone. Photos of his team at work were also
included. This appeal for funds was accompanied by a very personal and moving
report from Luigi Zoja and Eva Pattis who had visited the quake area and provided
emotional support and supervision to the team members working with these
traumatized people. A letter from Hester Solomon, President of the IAAP, and from
Joe Cambray, Chair of the DG Sub-Committee and Tom Kelly, on behalf of the Fund
Raising Sub-Committee was also included in the email message sent to the
membership.
In order to facilitate donations and to provide tax receipts for American donors, Joe
Cambray and Tom Kelly worked with the Foundation C.G. Jung Institutes for Alumni,
Supporters and Friends in North Carolina to set up a PayPal account so that donations
destined for the China earthquake relief program could be made directly through the
internet. In addition, these letters and reports were posted on the IAAP website and
a hyperlink to the website for the Foundation C. G. Jung Institutes was added to the
website.
It should be noted that the Foundation C.G. Jung Institutes for Alumni, Supporters and
Friends is especially suited for donations from our North American colleagues. This
Foundation is recognized as a charitable organization and has a 501(c) (3) status
which renders all donations tax deductible. Because of the service charges involved
for donations from outside the US, colleagues from elsewhere should be encouraged
to make donations by credit card payment through the IAAP secretariat by contacting
Yvonne Trueb at iaap@swissonline.ch. The money saved on the service charges will
increase the amount of the donation available for the project.
