INSTEAD OF MONTHLY NOTICES ISSUED TO EACH UNIT DONOR BASED ON IF A GAIN OCCURRED FOR THEIR GIVEN UNIT OR UNITS, AS OF JULY 1, 2024, NOTICES ARE SENT TO THE ORIGINAL DONORS WHOM WE HAVE AN ADDRESS FOR ONCE OR TWICE A YEAR UPDATING THEM ON THE OVERALL AMOUNT TO MISSIONS THAT THEIR INVESTMENT HAS HELPED TO GENERATE. |
