In 2014, the CAE Board approved the creation of four new funds to supplement the existing endowment that provides prize money for the annual George and Louise Spindler Career Achievement Award. The Board also approved the transfer of $5,000 from its operational budget into each of the 4 new funds, for a total of $20,000.  Because the new funds were seeded in this fashion, legally they must be called “quasi-endowments.” Our fundraising goal is to raise the balance from $5,000 to at least $12,500 in each of these quasi-endowment funds; such a balance would enable a minimum payment of $500 on an annual basis. The Board hopes for a much higher balance for the SB Heath and Concha Delgado-Gaitan Funds to be able to award multiple recipients each year.

We appreciate your support in endowing these funds through donations on the AAA website.
