Today is the start of the Endow Manitoba Giving Challenge week, and the Dauphin and District Community Foundation hope Dauphin and area residents will give with their hearts - and their wallets - to help make a better community.
Executive Director Kit Daley says the event goes hand in hand with their mission and vision.
"Our vision and mission are focused on enhancing the quality of life in our community. And the giving challenge is exactly for building up the unrestricted funds for community foundations. And that is the pool of money that organizations apply to when they need a little bit of financial assistance with a project"
The Giving Challenge was started back in 2014 among Monitoba's 57 Community Foundations.
Daley says over the past few years, the Dauphin and District Community Foundation has fared extremely well.
"It always amazes me at how generous Dauphin is. There are 57 Community Foundations in Manitoba. And in the last seven years, Dauphin has been in the top three every year."
You can donate in person at the DDCF office in City Hall between 10 and 4, or online through their website at ddcf.ca.
