Dear Donor Candidate:

 

Can you imagine! All of your life you have built wealth in business or real estate or by your terrific talents. And yet, after you die, your achievements are perhaps forgotten. 

 

That is why wealthy men such as Andrew Carnegie contributed vast sums for philanthropy. Before his death on August 11, 1919, Carnegie had donated $350,695,654 for various causes. The "Andrew Carnegie Dictum" was: To spend the first third of one's life getting all the education one can. To spend the next third making all the money one can. To spend the last third giving it all away for worthwhile causes. He considered dying rich a sin. And his name attached to all of the institutions he funded is well deserved and we should remember him as one the finest examples of human types.

 

You too can add you name to support a major cultural center in one of the nations greatest buildings and one of the finest neighborhoods in the cultural capitol of the world, New York City. We are a solid organization of 20 years with no outstanding debts, quite unusual in these times, and we have a strategic plan for longevity.  

 

For the major categories of support such as naming rights, please call me directly. We would be glad to meet with you to discuss any ideas. If you are a major arts, cultural or educational institution, please call me about a special relationship. (718) 486-6012.  

 

I would appreciate your referring this opportunity to anyone who may wish to participate in this unusual and rare opportunity!

 

 

Terrance Lindall, President
