Statement of Principals

It is our purpose to utilize the George Daily Family Trust resources as follows:

  1. To develop leadership for the benefit of the community;
  2. To create initiative for projects to benefit the community.

Funds will be used to match other funds or efforts. The Daily Trust Fund should not be the sole support for a project.

The Daily Trust Funds should be as the motto states, "A seed for growth", rather than a substitute for routine operating costs.

The Trust funds will not be allocated to support any religious activities of any church or faith; however the Trust will consider support of community-wide efforts which one or more churches may be developing or assisting.

The Trust's financial records and decision process will be available for public review and commentary.

The Trust should focus on concerns for small projects involving a few dollars, as well as large projects involving more than $1 million.
