Know Your Nonprofit Expo

2024 Know Your Nonprofits Expo

If you attended the Oct. 17 Know Your Nonprofits Expo in Siren, you had the opportunity to visit with more than 40 area nonprofits that welcomed the public and told their stories about helping our neighbors and doing good work in our communities. Displays and conversations included information on area food shelves, safe housing, and clothing distribution; student backpacks and school essentials; mental and physical health care; and services for infants, families, teens, and seniors. Attendees also played with kittens, learned about eagle and raptor rehabilitation, explored education and job training options, and were introduced to trishaw biking and pickleball activities. Co-hosted by the Northwest Alliance Community Foundation (NACF) and 100 Women Who Care Polk Burnett, with a generous sponsorship from the Webb Lake Community Club, the evening showcased a variety of support services and opportunities for volunteerism.

Thanks to all who could join us for A CELEBRATION OF PHILANTHROPY!

NACF’s fundraising gala on September 7 was wildly successful! Lots of chatting, good food and drink plus a very exciting live auction that netted $14,000 to help grow NACF’s endowment. One of the evening’s highlights was the public announcement of a $100,000 donation by Jennifer Turrentine.

Northwest Alliance Community Foundation has launched the NACF Legacy Gift Campaign!

We are soliciting 100 three-year pledges of $1,000 for each of three years. Pledges have already begun, but we need your help to meet this goal.

To be able to maintain NACF’s current annual grant awards of $20,000 we must increase our endowed funds by at least $300,000. Without this growth, NACF will have to cut one grant cycle per year and the amount granted will be reduced from its current level.

Will you be 1 of the 100?

Email nacf.hq@gmail.com for more information. Or give online through St. Croix Valley Foundation.

Watch for the NACF Nurturing Community column in the Intercounty Leader called . Twice per month we will highlight area nonprofits and how they serve our community.
