Chair Louise Lodge's Holiday Message
On behalf of the North Thompson Communities Foundation, we would like to wish the communities and residents of the North Thompson Valley a very Merry Christmas, safe holiday and all the best in 2025.
2024 was a good year for the North Thompson Communities Foundation.
- Directors attended workshops and seminars in-person and on-line
- We developed a Legacy Giving brochure
- We participated in the Barriere Block Party - 50/50
- We hosted the Ed Peekektoot concert
- We gave our first North Thompson Communities Foundation Bursaries to a Barriere and Clearwater graduate
- We participated in Giving Tuesday on December 3 to increase our Bursary Fund (raised over $2000)
- We gained a new director
However, we are looking bright for 2025. We are planning on updating and revamping our website, increasing our foundation visibility by partnering with ronaldomanosa, creating ads and a bi-weekly Foundation Voices column, planning to have some fundraisers and campaigns to increase our funds, adding more directors, and possibly hiring a Fund Development Officer - all so we can continue to support our communities from McLure to Blue River.
Donating to the North Thompson Communities Foundation is a way you can support local charities and organizations. You can make a difference in your community. Check out our website to learn more at www.ntcommunitiesfoundation.com.
If you are looking to volunteer, join our team - it is rewarding to be part of an organization that supports the communities you live in. Contact us at ntcommunitiesfoundation@gmail.com for more information.
Happy Holidays!
