ANNUAL FUND
Join us in supporting the Annual Fund for Camp Merrie-Woode! Your generous donations empower young girls to create lasting memories and develop lifelong skills in our enchanted natural setting. The Merrie-Woode Endowment was established through our Centennial Campaign to support Camp well into the next century. Within the Endowment, we have general and restricted funds that support operations, camperships, programming, building preservation, and conservation. All contributions to the Merrie-Woode Foundation are fully tax-deductible within the limits of the Internal Revenue Code. Contributions will be acknowledged in the Green & Grey Gratitude: The Merrie-Woode Foundation, Inc.’s Annual Report published each spring.

POLICY TO ESTABLISH NAMED ENDOWMENT FUND
The Merrie-Woode Foundation, Inc. invites donors or groups of donors who make endowment gifts of $100,000 and above to establish a named endowment fund. This fund will be recognized permanently as part of The Endowment at Merrie-Woode and allows for the charitable gifts of supporters to directly fund their specific interests at Camp. The $100,000 minimum gift ensures that the named endowment fund will generate sufficient income for their designated purpose.
