• Chapters can chose specifically which initiatives they want their funds to go to - OR it goes to the central fund for the foundation to provide financing to other chapters/projects/committees.

General Fund

• Richard Greenberg - first form should include a question asking what efforts have you done already to get support for your Chapter.
