FOUNDATION FOR THE PROMOTION OF HEALTHY LIFESTYLES

Philanthropy can be mutually rewarding . . .

The primary motive for making a gift supporting the CAHPERD Foundation for the Promotion of Healthy Lifestyles lies in the conviction that the Association can make a distinctive and valuable contribution to the educational, social, and cultural fabric of California. When the decision to support the Association has been made, tax deductions allowed to charitable contributions play an important, legitimate, and often rewarding role in determining the method of making the gift.

Gifts may be made through matching gifts by employers, corporations, foundations, outright or contingent bequests, remainder interest in property, and by other gifts-in-kind.
