Dauphin is hosting the Manitoba Community Foundations Regional Meeting this weekend.
Executive Director for Dauphin’s Community Foundation, Kit Daley, shares some of the topics being discussed today and tomorrow.
“We’re going to be talking about capacity building, donor stewardship, getting the word out, board governance, and the 24-hour giving challenge which is coming up in November. It’s going to be a very busy next couple of days".
She shares why they hold these kinds of large meetings.
“It’s an opportunity for delegates from foundations to get together and share ideas and find out what’s working and what can be improved so that we can continue to serve our communities as effectively as possible.”
Winnipeg Foundation is the group putting on the event. Dale explains why Dauphin was chosen to host."
“They are putting on the conference, but we are assisting by offering to host it in Dauphin. I think it’s an opportunity for people to get outside of the city and see a little bit more of the province. We said we are willing to do it and they accepted.”
Dauphin last hosted the meeting almost 20 years ago. Dale says back then there were 20 foundations, and now in 2018, there are 55.
“We’re pretty excited.”
