JonBenet Children's Foundation

This way we have it all documented in one location should we need to reference information, quotes, etc. If anybody has any additional information please contact me at acandyrose@aol.com (put JBR Foundation in subject line) and i will add it to the site. Thank you.

==================================================

Oh my. I guess we were starting threads at the same time about the foundation.

Tricia, if they are redundant, please feel free to delete mine or combine it or whatever.

I don't know quite how to do those things.

ACR,

You are just unbelievable! Thank you for all your hard work over the years.

So sorry, I didn't mean to start a new thread if one was already started :-(

Hey, you know what would be interesting, to list all the various quotes the JonBenet Children's Foundation was reported to be for.

The one I like the best is:

JonBenét's mother blasts the tabloids
Associated Press<BR>September 1, 1998

"Profits from the book will be donated to the JonBenét Ramsey Children's Foundation, which will benefit children and adults who exhibit good parenting skills, Mrs. Ramsey said."

This is in reference to Linda McLean's book, "JonBenét's Mother: The Tragedy and the Truth!"

Thanks for the info Maikai

Do you have a current link or address of a running charity for the Ramseys? They all seem to be shut down or "private"

Well, Maikai, that's easier said than done.

There is no phone number, no street address or box number, no website or e-mail address we can contact to make such a donation.

Besides, John was quoted recently as saying the "foundation" was now private and all the money belonged to him. His exact quote was ... "every penny that goes into those foundations is my own money."

Sorry, Maikai, but I'm not going to contribute to John Ramsey's personal piggy bank.

Well I have to agree with Cherokee...I bought the paperback edition and now John calls the profits 'his money'.....John lied on his 'new york times best selling' 'literary guild endorsed' book.

Thank goodness I don't live in Michigan...heck if you contribute to John's campaign what's to stop that money from morphing into John's money? Supposed to go to the campaign....just like the bogus foundation's money was supposed to do.

Would be interesting if you had a legitimate and WORKING phone number, email or internet link....maybe John's explaining somewhere in cyberspace exactly where the foundation's money went.



Oh wait...I forgot....John's never responsible for the foul ups....probably the stupid lawyers did it again! Screwed up the Ramsey's reputation while their backs were turned.

I have updated my resource web page on the JonBenet Ramsey Children's Foundation documentation.

http://www.acandyrose.com/jonbenet-foundations.htm

I have added a directory listing at the top of the page so as to easily locate specific resources one may be searching for. All you have to do is click on the date next to the entries in the directory and the page will automatically jump you to that entry. I have return links to click on so you can easily return to the directory.

I have also reduced my graphic sizes that are displayed on the page so that should help for a faster load since the page is extremely large.

The following are the items listed in the directory and I have full documentation and links that relate to all of these. Everything on this site relates in one aspect or another to the JonBenet Ramsey Children's Foundation whether it be links regarding the foundation, the now defunk www.ramseyfamily.com web site, the reward that was suppose to be paid out of the foundation, the fund contributions that John Ramsey can't seem to remember asking for to Patsy who admits in the Atlanta 2000 interviews that she never ever looked at the Foundation books and all of John Ramsey's promises of what the foundation was suppose to accomplish.

If anybody finds something I forgot to include please do not hesitate to let me know so I can add it to the site. I appreciate and thank all of those who have contributed to helping make this site possible. And thank you Spade for providing all the various transcripts so the truth can be told.

God bless you ACR!!!!!!!!!!

May Ramsey's opponents and the Michigan voters take a look at what John has accomplished with the foundation.... virtually nothing.

you have done a tremendous job. I can't understand why reporters in Mich. aren't all over this? John Ramsey should be questioned at every one of his speeches. This man is a LIAR and needs to be exposed to voters in Mich.

Tricia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ACandyRose's foundation site deserves a sticky! Awesome totally awesome. The voter's of Michigan need to be aware of John's big words and no action.

My hats off to you ACR!

Thanks to Why_Nut :bowdown: for providing these most revealing documents, I have added all of the following to my JonBenet Foundation web page. I have also updated the directory on the web site to reflect these changes:

Exhibit A

Part II, Question 1, Page 2

(a) The JonBenet Ramsey Children's Foundation (the "Foundation") was founded in April 1997 by John B. and Patricia A. Ramsey in honor of their daughter, JonBenet. All of the Foundation's time and resources will be devoted to making gifts and grants to organizations that either qualify as exempt organizations under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (or the corresponding provision of any future United States Internal Revenue law) or are governmental agencies, and which:

1. Provide opportunities for children to develop their talents
2. Build a strong spiritual foundation in children
3. Promote the safety of children
4. Promote educaiton on effective parenting and nurturing
5. Affirm and recognize children who demonstrate commpassion for and service to others.
6. Recognize responsible jouralism that affects children and families and promotes good in the world for children.

(b) The Foundation plans to begin a grant program as soon as possible in support of the six Foundation objectives listed above in (a). Grants will be made to organizations that either qualify as exempt organizations under Section 501(c)(3) or are governmental agencies, and that provide programming in suport of the Foundation's objectives. All of these objectives foster the purpose of the Foundation. It is estimated that grants in support of the first four objectivies will comprise about 80% of the Foundation's grant-making, with grant-making to the fith and sixth objectives comprising about 10% each.

(c) The Foundation has an office in Boulder, Colorado. Most of the activities of the Foundation will originate from this office. The grant program, including guidelines, will be developed by the directors of the Foundations. Guidelines will be provided to organizations interested in applying for grants. Decisions to provide various grants to organizations will be made by the Foundation directors.

Part IV, Financial Data, Line 12 "Unusual Grants" - Page 8"

"It is the intent of the family of JonBenet Ramsey not to benefit financially from her death. The family entends to donate to the Foundation any proceeds or rights (net of expenses) which may inure to them in conneciton with her death. It is impossible to determine at this time the scope of any proceed amounts that may inure to the Foundation."

Part IV, Financial Data, Line 15 "Contributions" - Page 8"

"Most contributions for 1997 have come from John B. and Patricia A. Ramsey in the form of cash and payment of Foundation expenses. Other contributions have come form family, friends, corporations, and unsolicited donations. The Foundation expects that the bulk of contributions in future years will also come from John B. and Patricia A. Ramsey, but that small, unsolicited donations may also be received from family, friends, corporations, and others. In addition to the amounts on Line 15, John B. and Patricia A. Ramsey intended to donate all property and amounts (net of expenses) owned or received by them in the future and related in any way to the death of their daughter, JonBenet Ramsey. For 1997, expenses included $500 for supplies and $5,000 for public service advertising. In future years, the Foundation expects to incur expenses for supplies and may also incure expenditures of an uncertain amount for the maintenance of any income producing properties which may be contributed to the Foundation in the future."

1997: Contributions $5,500, Public Service Advertising $5,000

1998: $13,500

1999: $13,500.
