You may have received our postcard in the mail last week. You may have read it, or you may have thrown it away. Either way, we want you to know it is a crucial part of our campaign to build a lasting legacy right here in the valley.

We are currently celebrating 25 Years Legacy in Motion. Your donation will go directly to our Endowment Fund, meaning it will permanently increase our community endowment, generating grants in perpetuity. This is how we ensure vital programs keep running for the betterment of the valley, continuing our work to support communities from McLure to Blue River.

The math is simple: When every household gives $75, together we reach our $250,000 goal.

Please think about donating to the cause so these resources remain in the valley for years to come. Let's move the North Thompson forward, together.

You can find more information and donate securely online at ntcommunitiesfoundation.com.
