Due to our relationship with The Moline Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization, all donations to the Sherrard academic Foundation are tax deductible.
Ways to give financially
Other ways to show support
Volunteer opportunities have limited availability, but include services such as: General clerical duties, fundraising efforts, gifts of services and items (specific to fundraiser events) and event assistance.
Advocacy and referrals are just as helpful as financial and volunteer donations. Consider sharing our facebook page, website and/or donation link with family and friends.
We are always seeking eager individuals with a desire to help us further our mission. We currently have vacancies on our board of directors and would love to talk with you if you are interested in joining our team.
We meet 6-8 times per year with most meetings lasting about an hour. Meeting dates are flexible to work around everyone's busy schedules. The time commitment, other than monthly board meetings, would entail involvement in planning and organizing special events and sending mailings and information to past and prospective donors.
In order to maintain proper operating and accounting procedures, minimize costs, and make sure we are in compliance with all tax laws, the Sherrard Academic Foundation partners with The Moline Foundation to act as our fiscal agent. The two organizations are totally independent from each other and The Moline Foundation provides their services for a fee like any other business partner. All funds received by the Sherrard Academic Foundation are on deposit in a separate account within The Moline Foundation and they maintain our accounting records and pay our bills. Donors may, from time to time, receive confirmations or other communications from The Moline Foundation on behalf of the Sherrard Academic Foundation. These communications are required and are sent to donors at our request and with our approval. The communications may reference a donation to The Moline Foundation for the benefit of the Sherrard Academic Foundation. Please rest assured that your donations to the Sherrard Academic Foundation have been credited to the Sherrard Academic Foundation’s account and have been handled properly to qualify as a tax deduction.
The Moline Foundation should not be confused with the Moline Public School Foundation. The two organizations are separate entities and there is no connection between them.
