| Endowment
Fund | An Overview: |
Established in 2000, the TMS Endowment Fund was created to help build the Society’s
financial stability and to support special projects. The funds received for the Endowment
Fund are kept in a restricted account, and only interest may be used when directed by the
Board of Directors. The intent of the fund was to provide needed funds to support special
projects that met TMS’s mission to advance the knowledge of masonry such as
development of seminar materials, newsletters or new masonry publications. |
If you would like to make a tax
deductable contribution to the the Endowment Fund, simply send a check to TMS indicating
how you would like your contributions to be used. TMS will then send you a receipt that
you can use for income tax purposes. |

2010 Masonry
Research E-Newsletter
Funded as 1st Endowment Project
At
its May 2009 meetings, the Board of Directors approved releasing interest earned from the
Endowment Fund to support a 2010 edition of a Masonry Research Newsletter. The first
edition of this newsletter was published earlier this year by Dr. Jennifer Tanner and Dr.
Saadet Toker of the University of Wyoming with financial support from the Council for Masonry Research
(CMR) and TMS's Research Committee. That newsletter,
which can be downloaded from TMS’s Website, was warmly received. As such, TMS’s Research Committee requested that the Board consider
funding future editions of the Newsletter. While the Board of Directors would like to see
funding come from its general budget, monies were not available in 2010. As such, at the
recommendation of the Executive Committee, the Board approved releasing earned interest
from the Endowment Fund to support the development of a 2010 Masonry Research
E-Newsletter.
As
noted above, the Endowment Fund was created to support projects like the Masonry Research
E-Newsletter that advance our mission but cannot be funded in other ways. TMS members have generously contributed to the fund so that it now
contains over $35,000. It is hoped that in years to come, as the fund and earned interest
grows, that TMS will be able to fund additional projects with the Endowment
Fund.

who have contributed to the Endowment Fund is shown below. If you would like to make a tax deductable contribution
to the Endowment Fund, simply send a check to TMS. TMS will then send you
a receipt that you can use for income tax purposes. |
