Osher at CMU Endowment Fund Update
By Lyn Decker
Donations to the Osher at CMU Endowment fund have started to come in. Thank you everyone that has helped kick start this fund. Our goal is $1 million. The purpose of the endowment fund is to eventually provide an additional income stream to help offset some of our increasing costs. This will start once our $1M goal is reached.
To donate to this “Fund for the Future”, please make sure your check is made out to Osher at CMU with a memo in in memo line saying, “Endowment Donation”. If funds are coming from one of your retirement accounts, it is very important to instruct your fund manager that the check is made payable to Osher at CMU. A couple of checks have come in saying CMU Endowment which has caused some confusion. Our address is:
Osher at CMU
5000 Forbes Ave – Cyert Hall
Pittsburgh PA 15213
If you get a thank you note from CMU, please contact the Osher office immediately because the funds will have gone to CMU rather than Osher and we’ll need to reverse the transaction. If you are sending a check to us from your checking account, please use the same address and the same instructions as stated above. If you want to use a credit card, you can donate to this fund directly through our registration system.
Everyone that donates will receive an emailed receipt and a thank you note from us by the second week after the month you make your donation. If by chance you do not receive this note of appreciation, please call the office to confirm that your gift has arrived.
