The donor, a former resident of the MAF area, indicated their support for the MAF saying “Sometimes you have a good year. You start to think about where you grew up and the connection you still have there. I wanted to help make a difference now for the area. The MAF is relatively new and I wanted to help spread the word that they are here now and will be into the future.”
The Morris Area Foundation Inc . partners with donors to build permanent endowment funding from which projects of the entire Rural Municipality of Morris , including the communities of Rosenort, Lowe Farm, Aubigny, Sperling and the Town of Morris are supported.
Please don’t forget the Endow Manitoba day Saturday November 19, where your donation to the MAF will be stretched! You too can make a difference in your community for the future.
