The ENDOW MANITOBA GIVING CHALLENGE is HERE! November 10-16th, 2025. For this week, your Endow Manitoba donation increases by 40% to the foundation of your choice (Like the Wawanesa Community Foundation!).

This year, we continue an exciting twist to our local challenge. For the fourth year in a row, we have grant-matching support from our local businesses Ellis Seeds, Shur-Gro Wawanesa and Guild Insurance! This year, we have added three new corporate soonsors - Rusty Bucket Auto, Jackson-Elder Family Farm and Ganalane Farms. With their help, the first $10,000 raised during the Giving Challenge will double to $20,000 to go to our community funds!

Through November 10-16th, your gift to Wawanesa Community Foundation can be made securely online at endowmb.org https://www.endowmb.org/giving-challenge/ or directly through your local Wawanesa Community Foundation. Donations direct to the Wawanesa Community Foundation can be made via INTERAC e-transfer at [email protected] and include your name and address where the Charitable Donation receipt can be mailed. Or contact Foundation Board Treasurer Leonard Plett at 204 725-6873, Past Board Chair Glenn McGregor at 204 761-7596 or Board Chair Amanda Ellis at [email protected] for more information.
