Province Encourages Manitobans to Participate in 24-hour Giving Challenge



Manitoba Municipal Relations reminds Manitobans that tomorrow is the Endow Manitoba 24-Hour Giving Challenge.

For every $5 donation made to a community foundation, the Province of Manitoba and The Winnipeg Foundation will also contribute $1.  So for one day only, each $5 gift becomes $7 to a maximum of $2,000 per foundation.

Gifts must be made to a community foundation’s undesignated fund.  Ways to give include:

  • making secure online gifts through www.endowmanitoba.ca;
  • calling The Winnipeg Foundation tomorrow between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. to make a gift by credit card over the phone at 204-944-9474 or 1-877-974-3631 (toll-free); and
  • contacting local community foundations on or tomorrow to give by cheque.

With 55 community foundations across the province, Manitoba is home to the most community foundations per capita in the country.  Visit www.endowmanitoba.ca to find a local foundation.
