Brief History<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

With financial and other support from the Thomas Sill Foundation, the Founders Club<\/a> and others, the Beautiful Plains Community Foundation was born in 1995. The foundation has accumulated more than $6.1 million in assets from fundraising efforts and donations. The board of 11 volunteer members from the community is proud of the more than $3.4 million that has been granted to many charitable groups in the Neepawa area, helping to fund a great deal of local work. Most importantly, YOUR<\/strong> donation is never spent; only the income is used to fund grants, and therefore, money donated to and raised by the foundation works for the community forever. \u00a0A copy of the Beautiful Plains Community Foundation constitution can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Community<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The community in our name includes the municipalities of Rosedale, Glenella-Lansdowne, the Langford portion of North Cypress-Langford, as well as the towns of Brookdale and Neepawa.<\/p>\n

Foundation Community<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
