Endowment Campaign Update by Chairman David B. Ramsay

David B. Ramsay Thanks to a growing number of caring, committed donors, Mission San Luis’ endowment campaign has raised $1.2 million in gifts and grants and we are now able to begin utilizing the fund’s earned interest income to enhance its award-winning research and innovative educational programming.

Thus far, Mission San Luis’s endowment initiative has garnered enthusiastic support for which I remain very grateful. However, to meet our overall fundraising objective, we must complete a Challenge Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). The grant period has been extended to July 31, 2013. Please give a gift to the campaign today! If you’ve already given, an additional contribution would be greatly appreciated! A limited number of high profile naming opportunities in the Visitor Center and on the historic grounds are still available for your consideration.
