Promote Philanthropy
Over
$67,000 was granted by the Southwest Minnesota Foundation's
component funds in Fiscal Year 2004. It has been exciting
to watch our component funds grow and begin to support
projects that may not fit the Foundation's current priority
areas, but that are aligned with our mission.
Component funds not only distribute grants to local causes - they also allow donors the choice and flexibility to give back to their 'home.' These funds help meet the needs of donors by providing the vehicle that can help meet their charitable goals. The component fund program adds
a new dimension to the depth and breadth of the Foundation's
impact on the region.
The
Foundation has also promoted philanthropy by providing
leadership and facilitation to the Fundraising Professionals
of Southwest Minnesota. This professional association
group has nearly 50 members and meets quarterly for
networking and educational opportunities.
