Prepared by Olin Thomas Updated on October 2007 Here is a list of the Affirmation funds toward which you can make a donation. If you feel inclined to designate part of your donation to any of these funds, please fill out Page 2 of the new donation form. Irwin Phelps Conference Scholarship Fund Named in honor of past Executive Director Irwin Phelps, this fund provides assistance to members of Affirmation who wish to attend the annual Conference but are having financial difficulty.  Read more Jay Bell Fund for Gay Mormon Studies Created in honor of Jay Bell following his untimely death, this fund supports scholarly research and writing necessary to counter anti-gay bigotry and ignorance, and to preserve GLBT Mormon history. Read more Endowment Fund In this fund, money is invested and only the interest or return on investment is spent on projects. The goal is to build enough principal to have a significant, steady source of income. Read more Conference Fund Funds donated here are spent only on Conference related expenses, for instance to bring speakers and entertainers to our Conferences, and to keep the conference registration cost within the reach of the greatest number of people. Writing Awards Fund This fund provides for the monetary prizes awarded through the annual Affirmation Writing Awards and to cover costs of the contest or publishing writings. Women's Retreat Fund This fund finances special events for women in Affirmation. General Operating Fund This is the most important fund of all—the one that pays the bills each month and allows Affirmation to have a website, telephone lines, office equipment and all the accoutrements needed to conduct daily operations. Any money not designated for other funds will be placed here.
