ACI FOUNDATION LAUNCHES NEW CONCRETE LEGACY SOCIETY TO BENEFIT THE FUTURE OF CONCRETE
New program provides concrete industry supporters with planned giving options
FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. (Aug. 5, 2008) - The ACI Foundation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the American Concrete Institute (ACI), is pleased to announce the launch of the Concrete Legacy Society, providing ACI members and concrete industry supporters the opportunity to name ACI and its Foundation in a number of planned giving programs.
Through the Concrete Legacy Society, donors will be able to make planned gifts to ACI, the ACI Foundation, or specific programs of their choosing. Gifts to either ACI or the ACI Foundation will be applied to areas in the greatest need and where the greatest impact will be realized. Alternatively, donors can request that gifts be made specifically to Student Fellowships and Scholarships, the Innovative Concrete Education program, the Concrete Research Council, the Strategic Development Council, or other programs of the donors' choosing. Each of these unique opportunities provides donors with options customized to their interests and charitable preferences.
“We are pleased to be providing the concrete industry with a host of planned giving options to satisfy peoples’ desires for charitable giving,” said William R. Tolley, president of the ACI Foundation. “Donors to the Concrete Legacy Society are helping to ensure that future generations will have access to continued advancements in concrete knowledge — advancements that ACI has been providing since its inception in 1904.”
Richard D. Stehly, vice president of ACI and a trustee of the ACI Foundation, has become the first to inform the ACI Foundation of his intent to bequest a portion of his estate through the new Concrete Legacy Society.
“ACI has enabled me to remain technically competent, and ACI continues to expose me to all the happenings and new developments in our industry," said Stehly. “More importantly, though, I am motivated to give back to this industry that has shown such support for me throughout my career."
On its new Web site, the ACI Foundation offers a number of donation tools that provide prospective donors with resources to make informed charitable donations. Those donors wishing to make immediate contributions to ACI or the ACI Foundation may still do so by contacting ACI.
