What is the Wanda Frey Joiner Founder Stepping Stones Program?
The Wanda Frey Joiner Development Fund, named in honor of Quota's founder, supports Quota's worldwide development and growth efforts. The Founder Stepping Stones program allows you to make donations in any amount that accrue towards Founder membership ($1,000) over one or multiple years. There is no minimum donation amount. (To learn more about the Wanda Frey Joiner Founder program, click here.)

Is there any time limit to the Wanda Frey Joiner Founder Stepping Stones Program?
There is no time limit to this program. You are welcome to make donations in any timeframe you wish, now and in the future.

Does the Stepping Stones Program offer any special thank-you gifts?
New in 2005, the Stepping Stones program launched a beautiful silver charm series. For every donation of $50 or more to the Stepping Stones program, you will be invited to select the charm of your choice from our exclusive series. To learn more about this special offer and to view the charms, click here.

What happens when my Founder Stepping Stones account reaches $1,000?
We will keep a record of your Founder Stepping Stones account. When you reach the minimum $1,000 donation level, you will receive Founder status and all benefits, including the elegant gold Founder Benefactor pin.

Can I stop contributing to my Stepping Stones account at any time?
You are welcome to make one donation only or multiple donations. The choice is yours. If your donations accrue to $1,000 or more, you will receive Founder status and all benefits related to membership in this program.

How will I know how much my Founder Stepping Stones account contains?
Quota International will mail quarterly account statements to all Stepping Stones program participants. In addition to your account statement, you will receive a short newsletter containing the latest Wanda Frey Joiner development and growth news.

I am already a Founder. Can I use this program to add "Stars" to my existing Founder membership?
Yes! You are welcome to use this program to add "Stars" to your existing Founder membership. As a Founder, you will receive quarterly account statements, too.

Are Founder Stepping Stones donations deductible for tax purposes in the United States?
Yes. Quota International is designated a 501(c)(3) organization. Donations are tax deductible as charitable contributions for U.S. federal income tax purposes. (Donations to the We Share Foundation Benefactors Circle and the Benefactors Stepping Stones program are also tax deductible in the United States. For details, click here.)

What benefits do I receive when I receive Founder status?
When your donations accrue to $1,000 or more you will officially join the network of Wanda Frey Joiner Founders, a lifetime affiliation. To learn what benefits you will receive at that time, click here.

Can you tell me about the Founder "Star" program?
Once you reach Founder status and become a lifetime member, we will add one Founder "Star" to your Founder affiliation plus one diamond to your gold Founder pin. Founder "Stars" can be added at the time of your original donation or at any time in the future. To view a list of current Founder donors and the number of Stars they have added, click here.

Can clubs participate in the Founder Stepping Stones program?
Yes, clubs are encouraged to honor their Quota affiliation by participating in this program. We will mail quarterly statements to all participating clubs so that they can keep track of their account.

Can I start or add to a Stepping Stones account for a fellow Quota member?
Yes, individual members and clubs both enjoy surprising a special Quota member with this honor.

Can I honor or remember an individual outside Quota with my Stepping Stones donation?
Absolutely! When honoring or remembering a non-Quota member with your donation, the donation is credited to your Stepping Stones account.

I prefer to join the Founder network right away but cannot afford to pay $1,000 at one time. Do you offer a monthly payment plan?
Yes! If you would like to become a Wanda Frey Joiner Founder, you can complete our Founder pledge form and receive immediate recognition as a new Founder. This plan requires consecutive monthly pledge payments ($100 minimum per month) that Quota International can deduct from your credit card or you can mail as a check. The pledge form is located on the Wanda Frey Joiner Founder sign-up form. To print a copy that you can complete and mail with your initial donation, click here. You can also use this program to add "Stars" to your existing Founder membership.

Who can I contact if I have any additional questions about this program?
