       Welcome to our donations page. The Montague Family Association is a publicly supported charity. We are  a non-profit corporation based in Hill City, Kansas. Our mission is to be a clearing house for information related to the Montague family. In reaching those goals we sponsor the Montague Worldwide Family Reunion every 5 years. The reunion provides seminars giving information on a wide ranging  list of subjects about genealogy in general, family genealogy, and family history.  In addition we support efforts to expand our knowledge of  family history. This information is passed along to our members in the form of regular newsletters, our website, and family reunion seminars. Our income stream consists of Membership dues (25.00/yr) from family members and individuals that follow the family history, donations from inside and outside the family, and coming soon, a small catalog of merchandise available to MFA members.

      Where will my donation be spent you may ask.  At this time the directors and staff draw no wages for our duties. I doubt we will draw wages at any point, but if the Association becomes large enough at some point volunteer labor may not be able to sustain our business model and we may be  in  a position of having to pay staff for certain duties. We sponsor the Worldwide Family Reunion every five years. There are expenses the Association pays relative to that event, including deposits and rent for meeting rooms and banquet halls, speaker fees for some knowledgeable seminar speakers, and retainer fees for some group tours. Additionally, we  may need to pay fees for development of the Montague database. The database is a huge project being directed by Warwick Montague in Australia. So far he has drawn no compensation for his years of work on this project, but there may be some expense in getting it up and running. Additionally there is the Montague DNA project spearheaded by Robert V. Montague that seems to be having some trouble getting off the ground. If funding will help make this project a reality maybe  we will be able to help in some aspect. We also support having this website online to the Montague family informed about our activities. There are many projects we'd like to pursue if the funding were available to do so.

     As you can see, we have high hopes for the MFA. This is why we need your support as soon as possible.  At this time we are recognized as a Non-Profit corporation organized under Kansas law.
