Children's Home Alumni Association
Summary of Special Assistance Funds

THE REDDING-MENDENHALL COLLEGE LOAN FUND
This fund was established through a bequest from the estate of Cynthia Mendenhall (1939) to provide loans for college for graduating seniors of The Children's Home. It has been determined that so long as ample scholarship funds from other sources are available for seniors, this loan fund can be made available to Children's Home alumni. Contact John Ammons or Jim Long for details.
THE DAN L. DRUMMOND MEMORIAL FUND
This fund was created by Mrs. Frances Drummond in memory of her late husband. Earnings of the fund are to be used for interest-free loans to individual Children's Home alumni facing financial emergencies. Committee members that administer the fund are the CHAA President, the Executive Director of The Home, and the Controller of The Home. Contact any of these individuals for more information.
RETIRED STAFF EMERGENCIES FUND
Initiated by The Children's Home Alumni Association, The Home's Board of Trustees approved the establishment of this fund in May 1986. This fund shall:
  1. Have as its primary, but not necessarily its only intended beneficiaries, those more elderly retired staff of The Home, who receive the most modest retirement benefits form The Home, (and also alumni families)*, and who exhibit the greatest emergency needs.
  2. Be funded by voluntary contributions from individuals and groups and by such other methods as may be directed from time to time by the Board of Trustees of The Home.
  3. Be disbursed at the discretion of the Executive Director and the Controller of The Home, who shall report all disbursements to the Finance Committee of The board at least annually.
  4. Be responsive to recommendations of individuals in need brought by the Alumni Association of The Home, but with the power of decision regarding these recommendations remaining with the Executive Director and the Controller of The Home.
