The CFPD Newsletter provides information on what's happening at the Foundation, recent grants & impact stories made possible by our generous donors and ways you can get involved.

See how CFPD provided funding to Fort la Reine School & their 'Fort Families Project' which helped build positive relationships within families & their interactions with their school.

Spring 2023 Grants!

In a nutshell a Community Foundation accepts donations to pool together and permanently invest. The income earned on those investments is annually given back to the community to support a wide range of initiatives and programs. This Spring, CFPD was able to give back $163,700.00 to local projects and organizations working hard to make Portage & area a better place to live, work & play. Thank you to all of our donors - you made this possible!

Thankful Thursdays!

On Thursdays we'd like to take the opportunity to Thank our donors for investing in our vibrant, healthy community. Let's start with Sandra, seems fitting as she was part of the "Founders Club", the very group of community minded people that helped establish the Community Foundation of Portage & District and she has been giving to CFPD for 27 years- Wow! Did you know that no matter the amount of your gift, the funds are invested and income earned is used to provide local grants each year- forever. As she mentions, the scope of the Foundation is so large that all residents of portage & area are likely to be impacted in a positive way at some point in their life. Thank you so much Sandra for continuing to support CFPD,

your community if so grateful!
