The Gift that truly keeps on giving to your community!
The MAF Board is overwhelmed by the support the Foundation has received over the past years. In total approximately $75,000 was contributed to the General Endowment Fund, our new Administration Fund and the Health and Wellness Fund. Thank you to all that have given your support. Your gifts become a legacy to our area. Your initial gift remains with the foundation in perpetuity while the interest earned on your investment is used to partner in funding worthwhile projects in our area. Your gift will last forever – for good! A great investment in your community.
The MAF is making a difference for our area. Since we started offering grants in 2015, the Morris Area Foundation through its partnerships with the Thomas Sill Foundation, The Winnipeg Foundation, Endow Manitoba, the Province of Manitoba, Community Foundations of Canada, area businesses and individuals has returned approximately $150,000 to our area. We are striving to become a trusted, reliable, and predictable source of funding to assist in meeting our community’s needs.
The Morris Area Foundation board has been involved in outside learning opportunities. Several board members were pleased to attend the Endow Manitoba Conference in Winnipeg in October. Meeting and hearing from other community foundations from around the province was inspiring and educational. Speakers reinforced the need to constantly engage with your community, including the current and potential donors and grant recipients to grow your foundation’s impact. We are in it for the long term!
As you know we added an event in December last year with great success. We are trying to increase the interaction with our area. If you have suggestions to increase awareness, your MAF Board will be pleased to hear them.
