We have thus far not had a formal program but will be establishing one. Let me emphasize that even in the absence of a formal program, people can now provide for gifts to IYNAUS in their estate plans. Coincidentally, my wife and I redid our estate plan in early 2014, and it contains a bequest to IYNAUS.

it is subject to restrictions, which mean, at least in the absence of extraordinary conditions, that only the earnings or income from the investment can be used to support the programs of the not-for-profit corporation and the underlying investment itself (that is, the principal) cannot be spent. IYNAUS does not currently have an endowment, but we will consider establishing one, and we would do so immediately if we received notification that one of our members wished to make a planned gift to the IYNAUS endowment.

The accident took place in 1989 rather than 1979, as was mistakenly printed. Thanks to Lee Sverkerson for noticing this mistake and researching the correct date of the accident.
