Call for donation to fight COVID-19

March 19, 2020

Dear fellow CAPA members,

COVID-19 has spread in the U.S. and posed considerable harms to the public and the healthcare providers. Therefore, the CAPA BOD and I would like to call for donations to fight COVID-19.

As I ask for your contribution, I pledge:

  1. Form an ad hoc COVID-19 committee of members with diverse background. They will together decide how to best use the donated funds. See action plan below.
  2. Host a town hall meeting to collect your ideas and feedback on how to best solicit donations and use the funds.
  3. Update members the sum of donation and itemized expenses regularly (currently weekly).

To donate please go to: https://www.capa-ht.org/donation/ . You can write a note on your desired use of your donation, which we will try our best to honor.

Thank you very much!

Lanjing Zhang, MD

CAPA President, 2020-2021

 

The COVID-19 committee’s action plan (approved by the BOD)

  1. Establish a multitask fund to support fighting COVID-19 infection. It may include but not limit to the urgent funds/resources for CAPA members related to COVID-19 infection, and aids to the area(s) with viral outbreak requiring urgent help. The fund will come from CAPA allocation and member donations, and will be subject to the BOD’s approval. The usage of the fund should be transparent and published at CAPA website or other media regularly.
  2. Solicit the ideas from CAPA members on how to contribute fighting COVID-19.
  3. Invite experts in infectious disease and diagnostics to educate CAPA members of the updates of the viral infection via online lecture platform.
  4. Promote collaboration of CAPA pathologists with the pathologists in China or other physicians with experience to study the pathogenesis of COVID-19.
  5. Use part of the donations to COVID-19 to fund the research focused on COVID-19. The research committee will be in charge of the solicitation, review and selection of submitted projects.

CAPA Granted 501(c)(3) Status by IRS

Posted on | by IT & Website Chair

Dear Fellow CAPA members and friends:

It is an exciting and wonderful news: IRS approved our long-awaited non-for-profit status [501(c) (3)] application on April 29, 2019, thus it is our pleasure to share this milestone for CAPA with you. The approved letter is available upon request.

When we are celebrating this historic landmark of CAPA, we would like to take a moment to reflect and remember the birth and growth of CAPA. Our special thanks go to all founders of CAPA for their marvelous foresight 15 years ago, former CAPA presidents, all EC members, and many volunteers for their hard work, and all CAPA members for your continuous support. We would particularly take this opportunity to express our deep gratitude toward Dr. Yun Gong, the immediate past President of CAPA, for her vision, determination, and bravery to submit this application. Last year’s CAPA EC members also contributed significantly to this process by rendering their support and preparing the material and documents. We would also like to thank Attorney Mr. Kent Vestal and CPA Mrs. Sarah Chen for their invaluable help. This successful application amasses the inner drive, power, and intellects of all CAPA members.

Granting CAPA 501 (c) (3) status means a lot to us. Under this status, CAPA is exempted from federal income tax. Additional benefits include that donors can deduct contributions. In addition, we (CAPA) are also qualified to receive tax deductible bequests, devises, transfers or gifts. If you, someone(s) and/or corporate(s) you know want to make donations in monetary or others forms to CAPA, we would very much like to encourage you to do so. The 501 (c) (3) would allow CAPA more financial vitality to grow and accomplish our stated and intended mission of “Excellence through Education, Professionalism and Connection.” We believe that CAPA will be more financially sound in the years to come.

With this great and exciting news that we are sharing with you, we hope you will be inspired, think deep and hard, and come forward with great ideas not only on how CAPA can benefit you but also on how you can contribute to CAPA in its new chapter. Dear fellow CAPA members and friends, let’s keep this momentum, have big and bold dreams, and turn them into reality.

Thank you very much!

Huan-You Wang MD, PhD,
on behalf of CAPA Board of Directors &
Executive Committee
