Why Endowment Giving Matters
The Pacific Crest Council’s endowment fund was established to provide a stable source of funding for the future of Scouting in our council. By growing this fund, we can expand our programs, reach more young people, and make a greater impact on our community.
James E. West Fellowship
A gift to the council endowment fund qualifies for membership as a James E. West fellow. The gift should not replace or diminish the donor’s annual Friends of Scouting support. A minimum gift of $1,000 in cash or marketable securities qualifies for the Bronze level membership. Donors may make cumulative gifts to reach Silver, Gold, and Diamond member levels. For example, 5 years of giving at the Bronze level would qualify for Silver level membership.
Many individuals and corporations make these gifts either on behalf of someone else – in honor of an Eagle Scout, Silver Beaver recipient, a retirement, a special accomplishment, an anniversary, or in memory of a special individual.
Bronze Member Level: $1,000
Silver Member Level: $5,000
Gold Member Level: $10,000
Diamond Member Level: $15,000
