Donation mechanisms

Because we are a virtual organization and institutions (and students) require payment for courses and student stipends, funding for ACGR is critical to its health and longevity. How can someone give to this non-profit organization? We are envisioning several mechanisms.

Church/family ownership of a graduate student: view this as kind of a family or church funding/supporting a missionary family. In this case, the mission is the academic community and you are supporting the next leader in that community.
Endowments without earmarks: if we had $5 million, we could use the interest (say at 5%) which would amount to $250K to support approximately three to eight graduate students on a yearly basis. The variation in the three to eight graduate students arises because different institutions have different costs for graduate students. Private institutions are typically more expensive that public institutions.
Endowments with earmarks: here endowments can be given to faculty members to ensure long term research in a particular area. Foundations: ownership of a single (or multiple) graduate student (s) or endowments can be made

The amount of funding for a particular year will be evaluated by the committee and used to help make decisions during the April time frame.
