Our goal is to keep an open line of communication with our donors. While we appreciate receiving frequent gifts, we do not expect every donor to make multiple gifts. Some prefer to make smaller gifts throughout the year; others prefer making monthly gifts, or prefer sending one a year.

The Foundation only provides extensions under the most extreme circumstances which can be documented.
