Endow Manitoba Giving Challenge!!

HELP YOUR COMMUNITY FLOURISH FOREVER!!

The Endow Manitoba Giving Challenge is here!

There has never been a better time to help the Wawanesa Community Foundation Inc. grow our Community Forever Fund!!!

Through the week of November 10-16th only, all gifts to your Community Foundation will be topped up by 40%, thanks to generous stretch funding from the Winnipeg Foundation and the Province of Manitoba. A gift of $100. will instantly become $140. (Any donation amount is gratefully accepted, and charitable receipts are provided for amounts over $20.)

We continue an exciting twist to our challenge. However, for the first year yet, our local businesses are adding 100% additional matching support! Because of our local community businesses Ellis Seeds, Shur-Gro Wawanesa, Guild Insurance, Rusty Bucket Auto, Jackson Elder Family Farm and Ganalane Farms, the first $10,000 raised during the Giving Challenge will double to $20,000 to go to our Wawanesa Community Foundation funds!

Through November 10-16th, your gift to Wawanesa Community Foundation can be made securely online at endowmb.org (link: https://www.endowmb.org/giving-challenge/)or directly through your local Wawanesa Community Foundation. Donations made directly to the Wawanesa Community Foundation can be made via INTERAC e-transfer to wawanesacommunityfoundation20@gmail.com. Please include your name and address where the Charitable Donation receipt can be mailed. Or contact Foundation Board Members Treasurer Leonard Plett at 204 725-6873, Past Board Chair Glenn McGregor at 204 761-7596 or Board Chair Amanda Ellis at wawanesacommunityfoundation@gmail.com for more information.

Canada’s Community Foundation movement started in 1921 in Winnipeg. Today, there are over 56 Community Foundations in our Province – more than one-quarter of all the Foundations in Canada. These Foundations are part of Manitoba’s history of generosity, a tradition in which we can all participate and take pride.

November 10-16th is a great time to invest in the future of the Wawanesa area!!
