I'ftit'/ GEORGE BUSH Proclamation 6069 of November 15, 1989 Community Foundation Week, 1989 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Throughout our Nation's history, individual Americans have voluntarily joined together to meet important needs in their commtmities. This gen- erosity, this willingness to work together toward a common goal, is a hallmark of the American character. Today, private volimtary associations across the country make sub- stantial contributions to our Nation's well-being in areas such as health care and social services, education and the arts, economic develop- ment, and environmental protection. Many of these associations are community foundations—charitable organizations formed to attract and distribute endowment funds. Directed by volunteers, community foundations provide effective lead- ership in communities throughout the United States, often supplement- ing or assisting in the coordination of public programs and other pri- vate services. They are one of the fastest growing forms of philanthro- py in the United States. In grateful recognition of our Nation's charitable organizations and the concerned individuals who donate their time, talent, and material re- sources to them, the Congress, by House Joint Resolution 425, has des- ignated the week of November 12 through 18, 1989, as "Community Foundation Week" and has requested the President to issue a procla- mation in observance of this week. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week of November 12 through No- vember 18, 1989, as Community Foundation Week. I call upon the people of the United States to observe the week with appropriate pro- grams, ceremonies, and activities.
