The President’s Circle

Every university foundation numbers within its community, a unique group of donors and friends whose interest in and commitment to the mission is extraordinary and whose generosity is remarkable.

That mission for HFHE is to develop a comprehensive residential university in Lake Havasu City.

To formally recognize some of our most generous donors and friends, your Foundation established the President’s Circle, and it has become the flagship of the HFHE donor program.

The President’s Circle is organized with the underlying conviction that the ability of HFHE to fulfill its mission is greatly enhanced by the philanthropic participation of donors and friends. Accordingly, the objectives of the President’s Circle are:

• To establish a group of individuals whose assistance and counsel can be readily sought by the President and the Board of Directors.
• To stimulate the active participation of donors and friends in serving our community through close association with the President, Board and staff.
• To further the scholarship program of the Foundation for ASU-Lake Havasu students. The scholarship program covers the costs of education, accommodation and the purchase college research papers. Since the main goal of the organization is to open more educational resources for applicants from low-income families, who have a higher level of intelligence than their peers despite all adverse conditions.
• To provide an exemplary pattern of generous annual giving to carry forward the critical fundraising and mission of HFHE.

However, some membership funds received by HFHE are for operational support and to build an organization dedicated to fulfilling its mission, which is…to develop a comprehensive residential university in Lake Havasu City. So, with each contribution, please designate how it is to be applied.

President’s Circle Membership Benefits

Membership provides a means for the interchange of ideas and for contact between those who support our mission in varied ways, with our President and Board.

For example, periodic gatherings are held in a flexible format of no-host morning coffees, light lunches, and after-work socials. These occur every few months depending on the topics to be addressed. Discussions center on issues of vital importance to our town that affect the university project.

The next gathering will focus on funding problems faced by the Arizona State University for the proposed new campus at the former Daytona school site. This is a critical mass of interconnected and interrelated projects that collectively will have an unprecedented impact on the economy, culture, and the very identity of our town.

Other benefits of the President’s Circle include:

• Membership in HFHE.
• Special recognition on the HFHE website.
• Special meetings and social events to review progress and discuss developments with the President and the Board.
• Annual meetings and events that celebrate the President’s Circle members.

A conscientious effort will be made to afford appropriate opportunities when particular interests are expressed.
