What Past Attendees Said​

“The networking is so strong and everyone genuinely wants to see each other succeed. I left with pages of ideas and connections that will help our foundation grow.”

In 2022, more than 165 people representing 46 community foundations gathered for the first Endow Manitoba Community Foundations Conference. Together we...

  • Connected with our community foundation peers to share experiences and learn new ideas.  
  • Took in inspiring plenaries that energized us to sustain and grow our foundations and communities! 
  • Heard Manitoba community foundations share real-life experiences about what has worked for them – and what hasn’t!  
  • Created customized learning experiences by picking four of the 20 offered sessions on topics including Governance, Finance and Administration, Fund Development, Grant Making, and Strategic Initiatives (Communications and Community Engagement).
