What is the Endow Manitoba Giving Challenge?
Give More. Grow Our Community.
The Endow Manitoba Giving Challenge is an annual province-wide opportunity to make your donation go further.
During the November Giving Challenge, donations to participating community foundations’ unrestricted funds are matched by generous partners, helping turn every gift into even greater support for local charities, organizations, and community projects.
Your gift today helps build a stronger future for our community—and with the Giving Challenge, it can go even further.
Give during the Endow Manitoba Giving Challenge and help grow local impact for years to come.
The Endow Manitoba Giving Challenge 2026
Endow Manitoba Giving Challenge will be from November 9th to November 15th, 2026. 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 our unrestricted funds to help fund our Community Granting Program.
The Endow MB Giving Challenge will be from
November 9 to 15, 2026.
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, and community centres 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!
