“2024, What an eventful year! Along with the other 56 community foundations in Manitoba, the Morris Area Foundation was pleased to be notified of the initial contribution towards our granting program from the proceeds of The Thomas Sill Foundation. The Thomas Sill Foundation was highly instrumental in the foundation movement throughout the years in our Province. The gift of approximately $23,000 annually goes directly to our granting program, doubling the amount we are able to grant in our area: the Town of Morris and the entire Rural Municipality of Morris, including the communities of Rosenort, Lowe Farm, Aubigny and Sperling. The MAF strives to increase the linkages between our fabulous donors and the excellent organizations in this area that do the work on the ground to make our area better every day. Forever – for good! We remain committed to our mission to identify and understand our area needs, create and maintain partnerships, engage and steward the caring investors who fund our endowments and grants. Some donor / granting stories follow. Thank you and all the best in 2025.”
What are COMMUNITY FOUNDATIONS?
Community foundations are charitable organizations built over time through gifts donated by various community members and organizations. These gifts are then pooled and permanently invested through trusted institutions. Each year, a portion of the interest earned on these investments is granted back to support your local charities. And, best of all, since the permanent investments are never spent, your gifts will continue to support your community forever.
What is the ENDOW MANITOBA GIVING CHALLENGE?
The Endow Manitoba Giving Challenge is your opportunity to help your community foundation grow exponentially. Gifts made to your community foundations’ UNRESTRICTED FUNDS between November 12–17 will be “stretched” through the combined efforts of the Manitoba government, The Winnipeg Foundation, Access Credit Union and Rempel Insurance up to $2,000 each organization – increasing the amount the foundation receives.
Help Morris Area Foundation (MAF) reach their Giving Challenge goal.
