The LPG Charity Fund's principal objective is to assist members of the LPG and
Gas Processing industry during a time of catastrophic medical expenses and/or
financial need such as temporary living expenditures or funeral expenses.
The LPG Charity Fund is a tax-exempt publicly supported organization in
accordance with the Internal Revenue Service Code, section 501(c)3.
As the LPG Charity Fund enters its fifteenth year of operation, I take this
opportunity to point out some of our highlights since the inception of the fund:
Approximately $800,000 of funds dispersed to help meet
extraordinary medical expenses.
Over $950,000 raised to assist those in dire financial need
More than 50 individuals assisted
25 dedicated board members representing 20 companies in the LPG Industry
volunteering their time to help others.
The LPG Charity Fund raises its money in two ways:
Annual fundraising events such as our Golf, Texas Hold'em and Bowling Tournaments
contribute approximately $75,000 per year.
Individual and Corporate contributors
The Fund has been successful due to the hard work of our twenty-five Board of
Trustees members, all of whom volunteer their personal time and effort. Also
contributing to the fund's success is the fact that we operate within an
industry that truly cares for the livelihood of each of its participants,
families and relatives.
You can help too: The Fund initiated a new revenue generating source with the
help of Randall's "Good Neighbor" "Sharecard" programs. Under the
program at Randalls, if you have a Randall's card, they will donate a portion of
your purchases to the LPG Charity Fund. All you have to do is stop by the
Randall's customer service counter and have the Funds' number 9550 "linked" to
your card.
The LPG Charity Fund continues its alignment with the Gas Processors Association
(GPA) in order to broaden industry knowledge of the funds existence to the
upstream segment of the LPG and NGL processing industries throughout the U.S.
The GPA has graciously included a link to the LPG Charity Fund on their website
at www.gasprocessors.com.
The Fund is administered with no paid staff. Administrative expenses are held to
a minimum due to the efforts of our Board of Trustees. Well over 99% of the
funds we collect directly help those in need.
On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I would like to sincerely thank you and your
companies for your continued generosity. With your continued support, we look
forward to doing more for those in financial need in the future.
Sincerely,
Greg Harpster, President
