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 the Carman Area Foundation between November 9 – 15 will be “stretched” through the combined efforts of the Manitoba government and The Winnipeg Foundation. For every $5 donated, they will “stretch” that donation by $1 each, up to a combined total of $4,000 per foundation. So your $5 gift instantly becomes $7 for your community!
Note: Only gifts to our ‘unrestricted Funds’ qualify for the stretch funding. This includes our Undesignated Fund, the Sperling Community Fund, the Roland Community Fund, and the R.M. of Grey Fund.

Gifts can be made by:
