This is Giving Challenge Week, an initiative started years ago by Endow Manitoba as a way for Community Foundations to grow their undesignated funds.
Gifts to a Community Foundations' Undesignated fund between now and Sunday will be stretched by the Winnipeg Foundation and the provincial government, adding an extra dollar each on donation on the first $10,000 received.
Kit Daley with the Dauphin and District Community Foundation says this event, which is an initiative through Endow Manitoba, has been around for 9 years and has been very well received in our area.
"In each of the last five years, Dauphin has been in the top three for donations received. And that really speaks to how generous this area is, how supportive it is, and it ensures that our endowment funds will continue to support organizations in our area."
You can make a contribution by either visiting the DDCF office in City Hall or by going to either their website or endowmb.org.
You can also donate with your credit card by calling the Winnipeg Foundation at 1-877-974-3631.
