Foundation's Editorial Calendar Continuing to Grow
 
 
If you happen to be a regular visitor to our primary website,
AmacFoundation.org, you've likely seen our weekly blog posts covering
topics important to the Senior population. In fact, for the past year
or two, we've regularly published a new in-dept article every Monday
at 9:00 am, and this year the pace has accelerated such that we're
posting more than that. In fact, through the first four months of this
year, we've issued 26 separate articles - many of them "guest" posts
from individuals and journalists who have noticed the growing reach of
our site and the value it provides.
This pace is faster than our 2021 schedule, where we hit the air
waves with an average of six new posts each month. We used these posts
last year to convey critical ideas to our constituency on subjects of
substantial importance to Seniors, and one of these focuses on a topic
we continue to visit frequently - Elder Fraud. Since January of 2021,
for example, we've posted over 20 compilations of thoughts and ideas
for our readers to protect themselves from the ubiquitous threats from
scammers and fraudsters.
As an aside, it's interesting to note that our website content caught
the attention of Congressman Bryan Steil (WI-01), prompting his office
to request copies of two Elder Fraud-related articles, along with a
supply of Foundation brochures, for use at an April 21 event. The
material was delivered to Rep. Stiel's office during the first week of
April.
The series also frequently covers topics like Senior Health, Senior
Support, and Veterans Support, along with a smattering of news about
what's happening here at the Foundation and sometimes just a general
interest item or two. So, if you haven't already, we invite you to
check out this page of our website...you can find it at

Foundation Again Earns Platinum Status on Guidestar!
 
 
The AMAC Foundation has achieved the Platinum Seal of Transparency
Rating on Candid GuideStar, the world's largest source of information
on non-profit organizations. This rating puts the Foundation in the
top 0.1% of charities nationally in terms of transparency in 2022.
The Platinum Seal of Transparency indicates that the Foundation
shares clear and important information with the public about its
goals, strategies, capabilities, and achievements, and presents
progress indicators that highlight the difference the Foundation makes
in the world.
Potential donors can find in-depth financial information about our
organization as they consider a gift that supports our mission:
supporting and educating America's Seniors and, more specifically,
helping Seniors navigating the complexities of Social Security and
Medicare.
 
Spreading the Word About Social Security.
 
 
As part of the AMAC Foundation's continuing mission to enhance the
public's understanding of our country's Social Security program and
its impact on Seniors, Executive Director Gerry Hafer travelled to
Spring Hill, Florida on April 6 to address the Spring Hill Republican
Club at their monthly Wellington at Seven Hills meeting. Gerry's
remarks focused primarily on Social Security's solvency problem, and
was structured as a three-part presentation focused on:
* What's the problem?
* How did the problem develop?
* What can be done about it?
The session was attended by roughly 60 members, all of whom expressed
appreciation for the information. The April 6 event was also a "meet
the candidates" forum, with Florida District 12 congressional
candidates Gus Bilirakis and Jack Martin represented, giving the issue
even greater exposure. We view the solvency of Social Security to be a
major concern due to its potential for impact on the Senior
population, and would be pleased to discuss the issue further with
anyone interested in gaining an understanding. Just call the
Foundation office and we'll be happy to chat!
