Clymer Museum Endowment

 

In 1996, the Clymer Museum Foundation Board of Directors created the Endowment Fund Committee to work toward a "long-term goal of raising funds, investing and preserving the principle to help continue the tradition of western art and our western heritage in honoring our own eminent artist, John Ford Clymer.

Dedicated individuals, most of whom were instrumental in the creation of the Clymer Museum, stepped forward to take on this task. Most of these people are still active today, working diligently to further the work of the Clymer Museum.  

The Clymer Museum Endowment Committee is comprised of:

  • Zora Peterson
  • Frank Conrad
  • Robert Jones
  • Teri Phillip
  • Robert Case Sr.
  • Melva Schmidt
  • Joy McGiffin Eckert and John Ludtka, two former owners of the Daily Record newspaper, originally kicked off the fund drive with a generous gift of $35,000 in 1996 and The Clymer Museum Endowment Fund was on the move!

    According to former Chairperson, Sandy Kachlein, "The Clymer Museum needs a secure base for everyday operation. Only the money generated from the principle will be used to help maintain and operate the museum." While other sources of income continue to play a major financial role, the Endowment Fund provides a solid annual base.

    The Clymer Endowment Fund Committee, under the Clymer Foundation Board, is prepared to accept current and deferred gifts. All gifts and donations are tax-exempt, to the extent allowed by law. The Clymer Foundation is a non-profit 501-C3 corporation, and our Gift Acceptance Policy is structured to provide maximum benefits to all parties.

    We are delighted to receive cash gifts, memorial donations, stocks and securities toward our goal of $250,000. And now we need your help!

    For futher info, just contact any of the Endowment Fund Committee members or contact our director, Mia Merendino at mia.theclymer@yahoo.com.
