Annual Giving

We’re getting ready to celebrate an important anniversary!  It has been 20 years since the Texas Retired Teachers Association Board of Directors approved the formation of the “Building Trust Fund”, which in 2000 became the Texas Retired Teachers Foundation.   We have come so far, thanks to supporters like you.

 

The Texas Retired Teachers Foundation will begin two new programs during this next year.  All awards will be announced at the Texas Retired Teachers Foundation annual luncheon to be held on conjunction with the Texas Retired Teachers Association Convention, April 15-17, 2008 in El Paso, Texas.

 

The Foundation will give scholarships for the 2008-2009 school year to students, who are relatives of Texas retired teachers or school personnel, pursuing education degrees at Texas universities.  And, the 2007-2008 Classroom Teacher Grant Guidelines are now available to any public education teacher in the state of Texas. 

 

Your support of the Foundation matters.  It has the power to change lives, to bring a world of possibilities to teachers and students, and provides support to our retired teachers and school personnel – to make change happen.  Please show your appreciation and support by sending your unrestricted annual gift today!

 

Make your annual gift now, and be a part of building the Foundation for the Future.  Return the enclosed response form with your check or go online to www.trtf.org and make your gift using our secure web site. 

 

At this time, I hope you will join me in making an unrestricted, tax-deductible, year-end gift to the Texas Retired Teachers Foundation in support of public education in Texas and the Foundation’s grants, scholarships and assistance to both current and retired teachers and school personnel.

 

Together, we can build a Foundation for the Future.

 

 

 

The names of our donors who make a contribution to our annual campaign, and in honor of our 20^th Anniversary Year (2008), will be listed in a special commemorative book which will be on display at our exhibit during convention and on our web site.  Please make sure your name appears there by making a generous gift today, and thank you!
