At the 2005 reunion, the Planning Committee underestimated registration fees. When the shortfall was announced, family members donated on the spot to cover the banquet—and gave so generously that we not only covered expenses, but also created a surplus. That surplus became the seed for our Family Fund.

This powerful moment showed the strength of pooling resources and inspired the 2007 reunion theme: “Strength in Numbers.”

The idea has been around for years and was done informally in the past. Now, with our website, we can collect dues in a way that’s simple, organized, and accessible to everyone.

We are building the foundation of a Family Fund, Trust, and Foundation to support both current and future generations.

Short-Term Goals

• Formally establish the LLC, Trust, and Foundation

• Subsidize family events (reunions, BBQs, retreats)

• Maintain our website and digital infrastructure

• Begin investing in low- to medium-risk opportunities, including real estate

Medium-Term Goals

• Fully fund family functions

• Offer small scholarships

• Generate revenue from family-owned investments

Long-Term Goals

• Provide full scholarships to family members

• Offer low-interest business loans and down payment assistance

• Create jobs through Association and Foundation ventures

• Cover legal and financial planning services

• Promote generational wealth and financial freedom

Absolutely. With consistent contributions and shared commitment, everyone benefits. When we all contribute, we all prosper—and money no longer becomes a barrier to opportunity.

Yes. Transparency is our priority.

Each quarter, members receive:

• A financial statement showing how funds are used

• A personalized report of your valuation within the Trust

For example, if the Trust purchases property, your contributions entitle you to proportional equity.

Yes. The Hibbert Family Association, LLC is in the process of drafting by-laws that clearly outline how funds flow within our association. In addition, we are preparing a Family Constitution to guide our shared vision and values.

Absolutely. We will work with Trust and Foundation attorneys as well as Fund Managers to ensure everything is handled properly. These professionals will be paid by the Association and overseen by qualified family members who specialize in these areas.

The website allows us to:

• Automate contributions and reduce administrative tasks

• Keep member contact information up to date

• Provide private access to exclusive family resources

Membership equals dues payment. With it, you’ll receive access to:

• Quarterly Association financial reports

• Reunion planning tools (including the “Look Who’s Coming” list)

• Family announcements (births, deaths, milestones)

• The Genealogy Page and Family Lineage Book

We trace over 1,000 descendants of Solomon and Elizabeth Hibbert, with about 650 living today.

Our goal: 300 contributing members at $52/year.

Because this is about shared ownership and empowerment.
When everyone contributes—even a small amount—we build equity, unity, and long-term investment together.

Yes! Additional contributions can be made anytime through the Family Store.

They will be once we file for official Foundation status.

No. Other income streams include:

• Family Store (Donations, T-Shirts etc.)

• Published Book – The Life and Times of Solomon and Elizabeth (Amazon Kindle)

• Regional fundraisers (e.g., BBQs)

• A monetized YouTube cooking channel

• Investments & real estate owned by the Trust

It’s just $1 per week—affordable for most, but powerful when multiplied across many contributors.

No. Dues are voluntary, but strongly encouraged.
Every contribution, no matter the size, helps build a better future.

We encourage every family member to participate. Specifically, both spouses and all young adults 21 and over. Your $52 per year helps create opportunities for generations to come.

Each family member should have an individual login. Setting up accounts separately ensures that we can maintain accurate and updated contact information for everyone.
