There is going to be an opportunity to help the Northern Neighbors Foundation do some fundraising with the Endow Giving Challenge which will start next week.

Shylo Peters explains how the process works. " For every five dollars that we receive in donation, we will receive an additional two dollars in donation from the Winnipeg foundation and Manitoba Government. So it stretches a five dollar donation to seven dollars. It is a fabulous opportunity for us to bring in some funds and in turn we take those funds and invest them. We then take a portion of the interest earned  each year and we use that for granting in the community."

The challenge will begin on Monday November the 9^th and go til Sunday November the 15^th. You can make a donation by going online to endowmb.org and scroll down to the Northern Neighbors Foundation. You can also go to northernneighbours.com and there will be a link that will take you to Endow Manitoba or you can mail a donation  in to Box 802 Flin Flon.
