Greetings!
As April, Community Foundation Month, comes to a close we say thank you! Thank you for another successsful month of sharing our work with the community.
April has always been an awareness month for the Foundation - a time to share the community foundation movement. New this year, we had our first endowment fundraising event - our 15 Hour Giving Challenge - in honour of our 15th anniversary. And Grande Prairie and area proved they were up to the challenge! Over $95,000 was raised, all for endowment funds that will continue to provide charitable support locally, forever.
Also this month local corporations and individuals have been purchasing apple pies served a la mode with ice cream, delivered by a Foundation Board Member. The apple tree symbolizes the work of our Foundation in many ways.
Imagine...an apple tree that feeds an entire city block,
Now, imagine...a grove of trees that feeds an entire neighborhood,
Next, imagine...an apple orchard that feeds an entire community,
Now imagine that tree never dies.
You have just imagined your community foundation.
Thank you for your support of another successful Community Foundation Month!
