Dear Jeffrey:¶
Thank you, you are very generous! It’s difficult to express how pleased I was to find a check for $50,000 in the Federal Express envelope from The Jesse Philips Foundation.¶
Per your instructions, $45,000 will be used for operations and scholarship support—$5,000 will be held in a reserve account for a South Africa Scholarship Fund ($3,990 will be used for Camp tuition and $1,010 for travel expense. With your permission, I will also designate $5,000 for the Presidential Discretionary Fund (from the $45,000 operations monies), which will be used by the President for emergency needs or to fund a project vital to Interlochen but not anticipated in the regular budget process.¶
It’s difficult to get a sense of this place and see the accomplishments of the students in a short time; but, I am pleased that you have made some time in your busy schedule. Please know that I personally and professionally appreciate your generosity and all that you do for a place that is special to those of us interested in the arts and young people.¶
Have a great autumn!¶
For tax purposes, please note that this gift is a charitable contribution and no goods or services were exchanged.¶
