...helping the Lower Shore's least fortunate.
Giving beyond measure...
In 1996, with $1,110 in memorial contributions for Dr. Bernardo Luna and at the request of the Luna family, the Magi Fund established a permanent endowment with the Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore for the benefit of its two charities. The Magi Fund subsequently committed to setting aside for the endowment twenty percent of every dollar raised. Since 1996, it has deposited over $80,000 into the Magi Endowment Fund at the Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore.
In 2001 the Magi Fund applied to the Community Foundation to participate in the Perdue Kresge Community Challenge - a fundraising challenge offer to Lower Shore non-profit organizations by Frank & Mitzi Perdue and the Kresge Foundation. The challenge provided a dollar for dollar match for every one dollar raised by a non-profit organization for deposit in a permanent endowment at the Community Foundation. The Magi Fund was accepted into the challenge with a goal of $100,000. In June, 2003, after just 18 months, the Magi Fund completed its goal of raising $100,000 for the Perdue Kresge Community Challenge and received its $100,000 match. Today the combined Magi Fund Endowment accounts at the Community Foundation total over $417,500. Annually, in perpetuity, the Christian Shelter and Joseph House Center will received proceeds from this endowment.
