The CWSW Rewards Program
The CWSW Board-approved Rewards Program has been in effect since July 2005. This innovative donations system was designed to generate funds to assist the Society in accomplishing the principles of its Articles of Incorporation. These goals and missions include the reprinting of articles and books now out of print concerning the history of Scotland and its public figures, such as Sir William Wallace, writings for publications, and the collection, restoration, and preservation of places and objects of Scottish interest to the public in general.
The Rewards Program allows dedicated Members and others to make donations and endowments to our Tax-Exempt 501(c) (3) non-profit organization. In return for these contributions, a tiered scale of rewards in the form of lapel pins, medals, medallions, certificates, and public recognition has been established to express the thanks and gratitude of the Society and to tangibly recognize contributors for their loyalty, generosity, and entrepreneurial spirit. To date, the program has generated in excess of $22,000 US.
Rewards Program Administration
A Board-appointed Rewards Chairperson administers this important program and records all donations in individual personal accounts. All donations, regardless of size, are welcomed and are cumulative. When additional donations are received, they are recorded in these personal accounts and the contributors receive appropriate Rewards recognition, a letter from the Society Treasurer acknowledging their contributions, notice of the amount that is tax deducible, and a citation of the CWSW Tax Exempt status. Contributors also receive a Letter from the President congratulating them on their Reward, an attractive Certificate, and Newsletter publicity.
Below is a diagram showing the details of the five levels of Rewards and a description of the Rewards Elements.

You Are Invited To Participate In The Rewards Program
The Rewards Program has had many successes because it gives contributors the opportunity to assist in the implementations of CWSW goals and missions, and provides a positive method for individuals to show their support and entrepreneurial spirit. The Society has made it easy for members to participate. Donations can be tailored to an individual's ability to give over any time period, and all contributions are greatly appreciated. Rewards are provided to the contributor as each Reward Level is reached. Larger donations that exceed other Reward levels will result in the higher Reward, and all subordinate Reward Level elements being received, except for the Certificates.
Together, we can achieve Society goals through the Rewards Program and our tax-deductible donations. Every donation, regardless of size, helps the Society accomplish its goals. We invite everyone to participate in the Rewards Program. For more information, go to www.clanwallace.org/rewards/rewards.html.
