These are non-profits with whom we align because their mission aligns with our mission. What they do helps us with what we do. In the spirit of working together, we can all make a bigger difference!

 

Q. What is a Local non-profit partner?

A. Each year, the Airstream Club International has an International Rally at pre-planned locations. These usually create a draw of 800-1000+ Airstreams. In the locations where these are held each year, we work with local non-profits that align with our Mission and Vision. All of these local non-profits represent some aspect of protecting and preserving the places airstreamers enjoy. Our goal here is to leave the places where we have our International Rallies better than we found them. This program can involve grant allocations and/or service programs that support these local non-profits.

 

Q. What is common cents for kids program?

A. Common Cents for Kids is a legacy program that is now managed and facilitated by WBCCI Foundation. Each year, spare change is collected at Local, Regional and the International Rally and those funds are placed in a “restricted funds” account where they can only be used for this program. During our International Rally each year, multiple families who have a child who is either sick or has special medical needs may be chosen to receive funds, or if there is a local non-profit who serves children with special medical needs, they may also be chosen to receive funds. It is important to note that if you donate and stipulate Common Cents for Kids, those donations go to into a restricted funds account used exclusively for Common Cents for Kids.


Q. WHAT IS THE WBCCI FOUNDATION FUNDING STRATEGY AND GUIDELINES?

A.  The WBCCI Foundation has established a funding strategy and set guidelines that help ensure that we maintain a healthy financial base to preserve the longevity and impact we have. This will allow for ample giving while being good fiduciary stewards to the future of the Organization. Our Funding Strategy and Guidelines are as follows:

• Baseline Safety Buffer – A minimum account balance of $5000 is established as a floor, or safety buffer. This safety buffer will ensure the long-term financial stability of the Organization.

• Global Impact Non-Profit Partners – A percentage amount of a running balance over the Baseline Safety Buffer will go to support our strategic non-profits. Up to 60% of funds within a given year may be allocated to Global Impact Non-Profit Partners.

• Local Non-Profit Impact Program (at the location of the International Rallies – but our goal is for future expansion to lead to support of region and local program support). Up to 20% of funds available within a given year may be allocated to Local Non-Profits. This local support doesn’t necessarily have to be limited to financial support. Members could organize through our Impact Partners to have positive local impact, like cleaning local waterways through 4Ocean, or clean up trails through Tread Lightly, etc.

• Other Programs – Up to 20% is to be held in reserve to support other established programs of WBCCI Foundation

• Common Cents for Kids is a restricted funds account. Restricted Funds means that all monies taken in designated for this program are to only be used for this program. This is a legacy program of the WBCCI now managed and facilitated by the WBCCI Foundation. A minimum restricted fund balance of $5000 has been established as a safety buffer. During our International Rally each year, the goal is to distribute a minimum of $5000. All monies collected at the International Rally will be distributed in that area. Grants are provided to a local child/local children or local organization(s) that support children with medical needs not covered by insurance.
