JAINA PATRON PROGRAM
Objective
1997 JAINA convention was a great showcase to demonstrate what the Jain community in North America can do. We should all feel proud of this achievement. Please remember that JAINA offers a unifying force and we should all support it to the best of our ability so that it can continue to initiate future conventions and help the Jain community in many areas.
JAINA has very limited sources of and revenue and therefore must depend upon the generosity of its members for financial support. It has experienced financial difficulties off and on in the past but the time has come to address this on going problem once for all and make JAINA a powerful force.
The Patron Program is aimed at making JAINA financially solvent on a continual basis. Please bear in mind that we can not operate the organization effectively without a strong financial back up from the community.
Privileges
One entire page (inside back cover) of December issue of JAIN DIGEST would contain the names of all Patrons, including a message of gratitude from JAINA.
They will receive an advance copy of JAIN DIGEST via First Class.
They will receive JAINA FOCUS every month. Their names will also be included in the convention souvenir.
They will be assured of hotel accommodation at their own cost at the site of convention.
They will be recognized at convention by providing them with JAINA Patron badge, special tie and lapel pin.
They will be assured a seat with their spouse in the first 20 rows at opening plenary session of convention.
Structure
Any person who agrees to donate at least US$251 per year (August 1 - July 31) will be designated as JAINA Patron.
Any one who donates US$5,001 will be recognized as a Grand Patron. Because this level of donation entails life time patronship, he will not have to contribute subsequently. A regular Patron can upgrade his status within 5 years by paying up the difference.
What your participation would mean to JAINA
The funds generated through this program would allow us to publish JAIN DIGEST regularly. The shortage of funds has prevented us from doing so in spite of our best intentions.
With better financial health, JAINA will be able to concentrate on projects of utmost value to the Jain community. We will do our very best to serve you.
