THE FUTURE CHALLENGE

The CAHPERD leadership recognizes that a successful association requires dedicated members, staff, political influence, and public support. Because the Association will not compromise the importance of human contribution to its programs, continuing labor-intensive cost increases threaten to price it out of a competitive public market. A functioning foundation and a successful fund raising program is necessary to help the Association to realize its potential.

Fundraising priorities have been established to provide one-time contributions as well as income-producing endowments.

Note: The sequence of these funding objectives does not imply priority of importance.
