DANIELS—In The Lion’s Den...
The third annual Community Chest drive began in the Matanuska
Valley last Thursday, and will continue through Nov. 15. During that
25-day period six local health, welfare and youth service organizations
depend upon your gifts to finance their annual operations.
All of these six organizations, which include the Valley HeaKii
Council, Palmer Public Library, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, the Alaska
Crippled Children's Association and the local disaster fund, agree to con
luct no separate drive. If your gifts are not enough to enable the Conrw
nunity Chest to reach its 1949 goal, all of these organizations will be
forced to curtail some of their activities, or retrench, in order to exisf
through the year on the limited funds you give them.
That you may realize the advantage the Community Chest syfctem
>f planned and budgeted giving offers to you, may we draw your atten
;ion to these points:
1. The one-drive plan for all your charitable gifts eliminates con
stant appeals for contributions to separate but often allied causes. The
jonstant problem of how much to give is solved, for Community Ches^t
gives you the opportunity to allot a specific percentage of your income
or an your year s coniriouuons. 11 oecomes a mauer oi aennue recora,
ind at the year’s end it is an allowed deduction from your income tax',
n short, the Community Chest’s one-drive plan is the business-like way
;o handle your contributions.
2. Because Community Chest goals are based on the compiled
budgets submitted by participating organizations, it makes for a better
planning of charitable expendiures and eliminates unnecessary duplica
ion.
3. Community Chest’s business-like organization, which requires
hat you receive an annual account of funds expended, and which flur
her requires that all participating agencies submit their budgets for re
new by an impartial Chest committee, assures you that your money will
je made to do as efficient a job as possible.
4. Community Chest's one-drive plan eliminates unnecessary
nardship on workers. Their job is completed when returns are totalled'
it the drive’s end, until next year’s drive begins.
5. Community Chest makes your giving easier by permitting a
nonthly payment plan, or even payroll deductions, if you prefer. It also
permits you to earmark your gift for one particular agency, should you
prefer. ,
Although Community Chest is still in its infancy in the Matanuska
/alley, there are many among us who remember with gratitude the help
t gave in time of need. There may be more of us who will have received
hat help in the months ahead. Let us keep that though, embodied in the
Irive slogan of “Everybody Benefits—Everybody Gives,” as we sign the
November 15. ,
