Our long-term goal is to be able to raise more funds through donations contribution and fundraising to provide additional scholarships for future students. Since 2020 our long-term goal has been hindered by the Coronavirus Pandemic. Our organization has not been able to generate the funds that it generated before the Coronavirus Pandemic. This year our Alumni Chapter donated $4,000 from our operating account to our endowment accounts that are held at MSU. This donation was made at the same level as the previous year. Our goal this year continues to be focused on growing the endowment to ensure that it will continue to generate enough funds to cover our minimum number of scholarships. In 2020 our organization completed our pledge to establish a $25,000 Carlie Nichols endowment fund thanks to our donors and fundraising efforts. It is a long-term goal of our organization to continue to donate to this endowment to increase the historical amount to at least $50,000. When the historical amount exceeds $50,000 it is our hope that the earnings from this account will fully fund one $2,000 annual scholarship. This year we donated $1,000 of our total donation of $4,000 to the Carlie Nichols Endowment.
