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.

LEGACY GIFT CAMPAIGN - Pledge your support now!

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. We hope that you will consider a pledge.

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.

Look for "Nurturing Community" the NACF twice a month column in the Leader
