Subject: More on the General Fund and "Matching Gift" from FTDNA
> To Carpenter group manager,
>
> Many of you have contacted me requesting more details about the Surname
> Project General Fund. Here it is: The General Fund was created as a tool
> to be administered by Family Tree DNA, so that it is not a burden to the
> Group Administrator:
> a) Family Tree DNA collects/disburses the money and keeps a log under the
> General Fund link in the GAP
> b) The Group Administrator tells FTDNA to which kit we should apply funds.
> c) We have created a self-explanatory page to be used by those who want to
> make a contribution to their family DNA project:
> www.familytreedna.com/contribution.html(You will also find a link to
> this page under the General Fund at your GAP).
>
> You are welcome to send the above link by e-mail to potential
> contributors, as well as publish it in your website. In addition to that,
> if you have a public web page for your project at Family Tree DNA, we are
> including in the setup page a box where you can choose to have that
> "General Fund" mentioned in the blue bar, on the left side of the page.
>
> -- Matching Gift from Family Tree DNA: in conjunction with the launch of
> the General Fund, Family Tree DNA will match dollar per dollar the
> contributions to Surname Projects during the month of October, up to a
> total of $200. There are 3 conditions for the use of FTDNA's matching
> dollars:
>
> a) no more than $25 that has come from FTDNA can be used per test,
> b) FTDNA matching gift can be used only for new kits,
> c) FTDNA contributions from the matching gift need to be used before the
> end of this year, as they will expire on 12/31/04, whether used or not.
>
> If all Surname Projects took advantage of this matching gift, Family Tree
> DNA will be committing a total of over $250,000 to new tests!
>
> Finally, a couple of reminders:
> a) We will stop accepting registrations for the conference after October
> 11. We already have over 160 participants!
>
> b) While the intention is not to push it, we don't want to be blamed that
> people did not know about our October mtDNA promotion in conjunction with
> the launching of the Mitosearch.org website. Therefore, in response to
> several e-mails, yes, you are welcome to inform your members about it and
> give them the link:
> http://www.ftdna.com/mtdna_promo.asphttp://www.ftdna.com/mtdna_promo.asp . Note that the promotion is also
> extended to mtDNA "add-ons" for those who have already tested their Y-DNA.
>
> As always, we thank you for your continued support.
