In December 2005, Edith Ziefert, the widow of George Ziefert, established the first endowed memorial fund in the RFC's history. This fledgling endowment has been buoyed by two substantial contributions from the Ziefert family and has been supplemented by numerous other donations from family friends. Following Edith's passing in November 2010, her name was added to the Fund as well. The Edith and George Ziefert fund is one family's way of honoring their relatives by continuing their legacy of support for progressive ideals. We are deeply grateful for this generosity. Anyone who wishes to donate to the Edith and George Ziefert Fund should indicate that designation when making a contribution to the RFC.
