They work in the corral with you. They do the ranch books. They go off
to town to jobs with paychecks. They are in church on Sunday morning.
Fairs, schools, grocery store demos, fundraisers, farm-city days... these California CattleWomen are there. These events take money, management,
and womanpower.
Pat Brazil of Siskiyou County presented a thought one day, " Wouldn't
it be great if there was a source of funds that the women could draw
from? That might eliminate some of the time and hard work involved in
fundraising." She continued to push for a
501(c) 3.
A CALIFORNIA CATTLEWOMEN HERITAGE FOUNDATION has been approved for tax exempt status and we are now involved in
grant writing.
It will take some time for the fund to grow, to see the results of musings
come alive.
Our purpose is to receive grants and donations for the advancement of
leadership education. Creating a greater public awareness and understanding
of agricultural production and laws through education, exploration and
science.
Donations will be fully tax deductible and receipts will be issued from
the Foundation. In turn, units will apply to the Foundation stating
their project, amount requested, method of execution, goals, number
of contacts expected. The board will evaluate these requests and allocate
funds according to the merits of the proposal.
In addition, individual CattleWomen units who receive funds from a source
requesting the 501(c) 3 status may have the donation made to "A CALIFORNIA
CATTLEWOMEN HERITAGE FOUNDATION" and it will be returned in full to
that unit to be used for the donated purpose.
