ATTENTION NONPROFITS:  ANNOUNCING GIVING GUIDE CHANGE
Beginning this year, the Foundation's Giving Guide will be published separate from the Community Grant Round.

The focus of the Giving Guide is to inform the Foundation donors and potential donors about the needs and services of the nonprofit organizations of Cass and Clay Counties.  The Giving Guide is a useful fundraising tool for nonprofit organizations and an informational tool for Foundation donors.

The Foundation's Giving Guide will now be sent to our donors in February, along with their annual fund statements.


Only ongoing program descriptions, not general operations or projects, will be included in the Giving Guide, which will be published every other year.  There will be an additional section for any capital projects; however, an organization can be listed only once within the publication.

A simple e-mail form is available to submit your program information.  To receive the Giving Guide Submission Form, or the Capital Submission Form, please contact Cher Hersrud at cher@areafoundation.org or 701.234.0756.  The deadline for submission for the 2009-2010 Giving Guide has passed.  Thank you to the area nonprofits that submitted their program information. 


WHAT IS THE GIVING GUIDE?


The Giving Guide is a wonderful collection of charitable insight that allows you an inside look at the programs of many local nonprofit organizations.  Inspired by the hope of increasing the available resources required to support critical programs throughout Cass and Clay counties, the Foundation published its first Giving Guide in 2004 with the help of individuals, organizations and businesses like you.

The Giving Guide is a reflection of the Fargo-Moorhead Area Foundation’s commitment to serve as a catalyst in identifying and addressing community needs for all residents in Cass and Clay County.  Our communities are dynamic, vital and progressive; but they need our support.  Please join us in enriching our communities through your generosity.  If you wish to make an instant contribution to the causes you care about, please consider using the Foundation's easy, secure option for giving online.  You may also contact us directly with any questions you may have or if you would like further information via telephone at 701.234.0756 or via email at cher@areafoundation.org.

We hope that this publication will help you get acquainted with some of the amazing work that is being done by the non-profits in our communities.  We invite you to become involved and enjoy the journey of stewardship.
