  • ASHRAE General Fund

    Contributions support special Board approved projects and programs including:

    • research projects

    • education programs

    • sustainability projects

    • membership enhancements

    • meeting subsidies

  • Why Should I Make an Endowed Research Contribution?

    • Ideal way to secure an Honor Roll level contribution into perpetuity – a set 5% annually

    • Alternative to traditional Memorial and Honorarium gifts

    • Great way for Chapters to put large treasuries to work

    • Initial contribution can be paid incrementally over several years

    Examples:

    Your Chapter has collected several thousand dollars in memory of a Chapter Member who recently passed away. Instead of making a one time contribution of $5,000, make a $5,000 Research Endowed Contribution in the Member’s name to the ASHRAE Foundation. This way:

    • your Chapter receives credit for $5,000 towards this year’s Campaign and 5% ($250)

    every year after in memory of the Chapter Member

    • the Member named in the Memorial will be listed in the Honor Roll under the Memorials/Honorariums section

    • every year following, into perpetuity, the Memorial fund established in the Member’s name will be listed at the Honor Roll Level in the annual Honor Roll

    Every year, your Chapter makes a $10,000 RP contribution to earn a Gold Treasury Ribbon.

    Instead, you should consider splitting the contribution – half to be spent on the immediate needs of Research, half to fund Research into perpetuity. This way:

    • your Chapter receives credit for the $10,000 Chapter contribution

    • your Chapter receives a Gold Treasury Ribbon

    • the Chapter will be listed as an Honor Roll level donor into perpetuity in the annual Honor Roll as a $250 (5% of $5,000) donor

    • future Chapter contributions can be added to the initial endowment, growing the Chapter’s endowment as well as the perpetual Honor Roll level contribution

  • Other Frequently Asked Questions about Endowed Research Funds:

    Q: What does “endowed” mean exactly? Simply put, “endowed” means that a Donor or Donors contribute to a named fund via the ASHRAE Foundation. The Foundation then invests the money contributed and guarantees a set 5% annual return, beginning 1 year after the initial investment, into perpetuity. The income earned from the initial investment is earmarked to the fund designated by the Donor or Donors. Additional information on ASHRAE Foundation may be found at: www.ashrae.org/Foundation Q: How do I notify Staff if I’d like to set up an Endowed Research Fund? Since each situation is unique, please contact Patricia Adelmann at Headquarters. She’ll be happy to discuss the Chapter or Donor’s wishes and formulate a plan that fits those needs best. It’s a very simple process and should take no more than 5 minutes. Q: Is there a minimum amount to start or name a Fund? Because this is an endowed fund, with the principal being used for investment and never spent, the minimum amount has been set at $2,500. This guarantees a minimum $125, or 5% of the initial contribution, annual investment after the first year. Q: May more than one Donor contribute to a Fund? Certainly! This is an excellent way to encourage new Donors for your Chapter. This is especially true if the Fund is being created in memory of or in honor of a respected Member of your Chapter or the HVAC&R community. Several Chapters have designated specific special events as the XXXX Memorial, where all contributions raised go toward that Endowed Research Fund. Please contact staff to discuss the details and how best to designate these funds.

  • Q: Are there restrictions on what the Fund can be named? What have other Chapters named their Funds? We suggest keeping the name of the Fund simple and always in good taste. Chapters have named Funds after individuals (must be or have been ASHRAE Members in good standing) or their Chapters. Several suggestions are The John Smith Memorial Fund, Metro Chapter Past Presidents’ Fund, New England Chapter Fund, Supporting Refrigeration in Delaware Fund. Q: Why not raise $2M a year just for the Foundation? Setting up an Endowed Research Fund creates a permanent gift to Research and helps to ensure that the ever growing needs of Research are met. But, at the same time, the RP Campaign would never want to earmark all funds toward the Foundation because of the immediate needs of Research. Funds given to the Foundation – the principal – can never be spent, only the returns on the investment. ASHRAE Research still needs $2.5M annually. For large Chapter contributions, the recommended split is 50/50 – no more than 50% of the standard Chapter donation earmarked toward Foundation. This will help ensure that enough funds are available for the immediate use of Research and will still allow the Chapter to build up the Chapter Endowed Fund over time. Additional Questions?

    www.ashrae.org/foundation

  • Does ASHRAE Foundation compete with Research Promotion?

    No - not at all! Any money donated to the Foundation counts towards a chapter’s RP Goal, the Foundation has 20+ endowed research contributions and most importantly, both are working for ASHRAE and its members.

    How does the Foundation work?

    ASHRAE Foundation operates on the principal of Endowment. A gift is made by a donor, that is then invested. The interest earned - a set 5% each year - is then able to be spent where the donor requests. Gifts to ASHRAE Foundation allow you to support ASHRAE and the programs you believe in forever.

    What’s funded through ASHRAE Foundation support?

    The Foundation gives over $150,000 a year to help improve the ASHRAE Learning Institute’s programs, provides money for scholarships, helps fund special and temporary projects for ASHRAE and of course, has numerous endowed research gifts.

    What sort of gifts can be made to the Foundation?

    We’ll be happy to accept gifts of all types. Cash, of course is always accepted. But gifts to ASHRAE Foundation can also be part of your over-all estate planning for tax benefits and long-term investments. Check with your personal attorney for the specific options that would benefit you the most.

    What sort of assets can I use to make a gift?

    Almost anything: cash, publicly traded securities, life insurance, the balance of your retirement account. Other assets can be very valuable but are more complicated to ad-minister and must be reviewed by us before we can accept them as gifts: real estate, closely held stock, artwork, and collectibles.

    Is there a minimum gift amount? No but remember, only the interest your gift earns - 5% - is able to be spent. A $100 gift will generate a $5 gift to ASHRAE into perpetuity. We recommend that the mini-mum gift be $2,500. That will generate a $125 Honor Roll Level gift for ever.

    What if I have more questions? Contact us and we’ll be happy to help!

    ASHRAE Foundation Questions? We have the answers!

  • ASHRAE Learning Institute (ALI)

    Education for the 21st Century and Beyond Today’s environmental issues demand highly skilled employees who understand the new technologies revolutionizing the HVAC&R industry and are equipped to apply the sound engineering practices and principles that have evolved over the past 50 years. While traditional educational environments provide students with a solid technical foundation, they may not introduce the “real world” challenges that exist within our industry. Rapid advances in HVAC&R make it difficult for the seasoned professional to maintain a working knowledge of current technology, and few companies can dedicate the resources necessary to provide adequate “on the job” training or opportunities for professional development. The ASHRAE Learning Institute (ALI) is not a building or a structure of bricks and mortar. Rather, ALI is built upon an educational and training foundation laid by the HVAC&R industry’s leading educators and practitioners. In order to meet the needs of the engineer in this current “information age” ALI draws upon the worldwide resources of ASHRAE, the industry’s source for research, standards and reference publications. The ASHRAE Learning Institute plans to utilize advanced information technologies, along with traditional instructor-based and self-directed studies, to reshape the process by which ASHRAE members and young graduates keep pace with the engineering demands of the 21st Century. By drawing on the experiences of ASHRAE’s 55,000 members worldwide and more than 2,000 leading practitioners who serve on ASHRAE Technical and Standards Committees, and ASHRAE Learning Institute trains engineers to make immediate contributions to their employers. The ASHRAE Learning Institute (ALI) has moved into the 21st century by taking the existing ASHRAE educational initiatives, examining their effectiveness, and strengthening the content in order to successfully satisfy the needs of employers and the membership. Course development through the ASHRAE Learning Institute (ALI) is cutting edge. Each course is free from commercialism and is peer reviewed to ensure technical accuracy. The instructor is presenting the prevailing view within ASHRAE, rather than their personal opinions. All of your training needs can be conveniently met through Half-Day Short Courses and Full-Day Professional Development Seminars, Online Courses, eLearning, Chapter and In-Company Training, and Self-Directed Learning Texts.
