Community Project Month runs in the month of May each year. We partner with Pinawa groups to collect donations for projects that benefit our community. The Foundation accepts donations throughout the month for up to fifteen projects. The Foundation issues tax receipts for all donations of $25 or greater. We also stretch the donations for each project by 50%, to a maximum of $3,000 per project.
Application Guidelines
- Your project benefits Pinawa.
- Each group is responsible for promoting their project and fundraising events.
- The Pinawa Foundation will highlight each project in our April newsletter and on Facebook and Instagram.
- Donations must be received by the Foundation by May 31. Cheques payable to the Pinawa Foundation should be mailed to Box 100, Pinawa MB, R0E 1L0. The cheque memo line should list the group/project being supported. E-transfers to fndlyc@gmail.com should have the project being supported indicated in the memo box.
- Each group participating in Community Project Month must submit a report on their project by Oct 31. The report should include the following:
- A brief description of the project.
- The status of the project.
- A cost/impact summary for your project; materials, labour costs, participants (age and number), benefits (who, how, when and where).
- Pictures for the Foundation’s archives and Facebook/Instagram posts.
- A description of how you plan to use any extra funds.
- If your project is not completed, provide a schedule for completion. The Foundation will also require a final report upon completion.
