THOSHC Board Members will consider THOSHC a philanthropic priority and make annual gifts that reflect that priority. So that THOSHC can credibly solicit contributions from foundations, organizations, and individuals, THOSHC expects to have 100 percent of Board Members make an annual contribution that is commensurate with their capacity.
