Endow Manitoba Giving Challenge will be from November 12th to November 17th, 2024. During this time, the ICF asks for donations to one of our unrestricted funds so that we can take advantage of matching dollars. We use out unrestricted funds to help fund our Community Granting Program.
The Board of the ICF would like to thank everyone who made a gift during the Giving Challenge Week last year. We exceeded our goal, and received $2,000 in matching funds from the government of Manitoba and $2,000 in matching funds from the Winnipeg Foundation. Donations totaling $27,025.98 were made for Challenge Funds, making our total $31,025.98!
The even better news is that during the 6 weeks starting November 1st, we had received $205,382.37 in donations for our various funds and causes! All donations support different aspects of life in the South Interlake Region.
The Endow MB Giving Challenge will be from November 12 to 17, 2024.
During this week, we aim to grow our All Communities Fund, or other non-restricted funds. These funds help us make Community Grants every year.

The ICF supports all aspects of life in the RMs of Rockwood, Rosser and Woodlands and the Towns of Stonewall and Teulon, making grants to a wide variety of worthy causes – from daycares to seniors’ programs, scholarships to school improvements, community centers to heritage sites. We help children, athletes, seniors, artists, students and more!
Our Community Grants are possible thanks to generous gifts from local donors such as yourself. Community foundations pool and endow (permanently invest) all gifts and the income earned supports a variety of projects within the foundation’s catchment area. The original endowed contributions are never spent, ensuring a legacy for donors and a permanent source of support for the community. No matter the size of your gift, your contribution will improve life here for generations to come. All donations are welcome, and those over $20 will receive a tax receipt.
Thank you for your anticipated support!
