| From a Small Puppy Grows a Mighty Newfoundland |
 For the last decade the Charitable Trust Management Board (CTMB) has been known for its thoughtful allocation of your donations to aid Newfoundlands in Rescue, Health and Education initiatives. The CTMB now moves into a new phase of fund management with the establishment of the Newfoundland Endowment Fund within the NCA Charitable Trust. Initial funding was made possible by recent contributions from the estates of two previous NCA members and an anonymous donation.
The long-term goal of the CTMB is to grow the Endowment Fund to become a source of income that can support Rescue, Health and Education issues. "From the early beginnings of the NCA Donations committee to the NCA Charitable Trust, the goal was the formation of a fund to be a long term source of dollars to fund research, rescue and health education. This goal has been fulfilled with the creation of the Endowment Fund" said Clyde Dunphy DVM, CTMB Chairman. A major benefit of the Endowment Fund is that Newfoundland lovers can now include a gift in their Will or Estate planning towards these good works. Other donations of monies or Newfoundland memorabilia or collections may also be donated to the Trust to be included in the Endowment Fund. Like a Newf puppy, who quickly grows to an adult, the Newfoundland Endowment Fund will also grow. Please consider including the Newfoundland Endowment Fund in your Estate Planning. For more information on the many ways you can help grow the Newfoundland Endowment Fund, please visit the Giving Center online or contact Andy Zinsmeyer. The NCA Charitable Trust is a 501 c (3) public benefit corporation, and donations are fully tax deductible.
