SVCF Mission Appeal Goal Set
The Sheyenne Valley Community Foundation is excited to launch our 2020 Mission Appeal with a goal to raise $75,000. Donations will allow us to maintain dedicated staff time and continue to work with local charities, to build philanthropy, and to hold a Community Grant Round. Serving the Community Over the last five years, the combined efforts of our commitment to local charities along with the generosity of our community have had a profound impact on the Sheyenne River Valley.
Charitable organizations utilize our administrative services as a way to accept grant funds, tax deductible donations, special proj
ects and more. Donor Advised Fund, Pass Through Funds and Grant Rounds have allocated $349,750 to local charities through the Community Foundation.
Donors rely on our knowledge of community needs and opportunities to invest in programs and organizations that make a difference in our area. With over $537,000 managed through Donor Advised and Agency Endowment Funds, local charities will yield the benefits of this generosity in perpetuity.
Nonprofit Capacity Building program allows staff to provide direct mentoring and capacity building to local charities. This in return strengthens their mission and establishes a strong foundation for them to build upon. We have dedicated 463 hours to over 20 local charities.
Organizations receive help finding additional financial resources to maximize their funding potential and leverage additional support.
Community Grant Round
Our Community Grant Round is a grant program for local charitable organizations. Funds are awarded to those that demonstrate the ability to address unmet needs or initiatives. This year we were able to award $24,700 among nine nonprofits in Barnes County with a total project impact of $393,072. With many organizations canceling fundraising activities, we expect the need to be much greater this year.
