In lieu of gifts...
please consider helping us build something bigger than ourselves! Starting with our wedding we are establishing a donor-advised fund at Fidelity Charitable. This will be a lifelong Philanthropic project for us. We will focus on:
Global Health with an emphasis on vulnerable populations
Education with an emphasis on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math)
You can donate in two ways:
1. Electronic Donation via the official PayPal account. just click the button below!
- All funds contributed to this account will be donated to the Edmundson Family Fund
- Note: although it's convenient and easy, Fidelity is unable to make electronic donations tax-deductable
2. Good-old-fashioned Paper Check (tax-deductable):
- Make checks payable to Fidelity Charitable...these donations are tax-deductable (your check is your receipt!)
- Write "Edmundson Family Fund 1113229" in the memo field
- You can bring it to the wedding on June 3rd, or send it to us at 2019 Locust Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103
How we will support our causes
- Initially we will donate funds to well-established charities that have an excellent track record, and who's work has intimately affected our lives, such as:
- The Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation - which is working to find a cure to a rare disease that has affected Mark's family.
- First Robotics Competition - which helped mold Moriah's early interest in science and technology.
- Later we hope to create our own Public Charity or Private Foundation to:
- Lead medical relief trips in under-served communities, or even build a clinic
- Establish a STEM scholarship, or even found a school in an under-served community
- We plan to build up an endowment so that this work will continue in perpetuity
