The ENDOW MANITOBA
Giving Challenge
Endow Manitoba is an initiative of The Winnipeg Foundation and is a great support to all of Manitoba’s 56 (as at 2023) community foundations.
Coldwell Lundar Community Foundation (CLCF) takes part in the annual week long Giving Challenge. It is a time of the year when your community foundation has an opportunity to build its unrestricted endowed funds that support local granting.
National Philanthropy Day is November 15 and each year the Challenge takes place for the week that encompasses this day.
During this time only, each $5 gift you make becomes $7. Presently, The Winnipeg Foundation and the Province each stretch every $5 gift made by $1 until $10,000 is raised (max. stretch is $4,000).
Your gift will support many worthwhile projects in your community forever because, as with all donations to the foundation, the gift never gets spent, only the interest that it generates. All gifts are income tax deductible. No gift is too small as they are all important in helping grow the endowed funds.
