Endow Manitoba's Giving Challenge was a huge success again this year across the province.

 

During the one-week challenge, the province raised more than 1.5 million dollars.

 

In The Pas, over 15 thousand dollars was contributed to the tri-community foundation, including a maximum of 4 thousand dollars from the Winnipeg Foundation and the Manitoba government.

 

The Thompson Community Foundation received just shy of 9 Thousand dollars.

 

Community foundations provide vital funding for local charitable projects and initiatives, especially during challenging times.

 

They rely on undesignated funds to respond to their communities' changing needs.

 

The Giving Challenge, coordinated by Endow Manitoba, supports local charities through grants.
