The Stanley Whitaker Gift Foundation, Inc. (“the Foundation”) is a not-for-profit organization (510 (c)(3) status pending) founded in July 2008. The specific mission of the Foundation is to provide medical and other living expenses to musicians in need caused by a devastating medical diagnosis and insufficient earnings to meet the expected exorbitant medical costs.

The Foundation is an entirely volunteer organization, headed by a Board of Directors and Officers who have experience in Sales, Finance, Public Relations, Internet Web-based consulting, Human Resources and other areas of expertise who are qualified to operate the Foundation in a safe and sound manner. None of the officers, directors or staff will be paid any compensation or receive benefits of any nature. Additionally, operating expenses will be held to a minimum through acquisition of goods or services that are donated by others. It is the objective of the Foundation to return over 95% of funds raised to the beneficiaries.

The Foundation will accept applications from musicians in need caused by a devastating medical diagnosis and insufficient earnings to meet the expected exorbitant medical costs. The Foundation will raise funds to meet these needs via musical concerts, Internet and mail contributions and other fundraising efforts. Applications will be reviewed and vetted by the Benefit Committee and funds disbursed based on need.

The concert fundraising events will be planned and operated by staff of the Foundation. All musicians who agree to perform at the events will donate their time. No professional consultants, promoters, agents, publicists or other contractors will be hired and paid for by the Foundation in the organization or operation of these events.
