Another great initiative from Friends Of Rivers Lake...a grant from the Rivers and Area Community Foundation using the Thomas Sill granting that was available for this project.

Friends of Rivers Lake is excited to announce the purchase of a kayak launcher and dock which will be installed at Daly Beach early this summer. These projects are only made available through grants provided by our funding partners. The Thomas Sill Foundation graciously provided $3000 toward making this project possible and we would like to thank them.

The Endow Manitoba Conference of 2026 was one to remember.

Witnessing the leadership, capacity building and connections this weekend was incredible, which in turn will assist us in making a bigger impact in our own community foundation.

We see a lot of new opportunities for the Rivers and Area Community Foundation. Bringing real change and taking action to ensure we continue to inspire and support those in and around our community!

From the keynote speakers and mindful morning sessions, to the array of food and exceptional tour of the Leaf - it was unique and inspiring to all that attended.

Today we celebrate Community Foundation Day! Donna and Kerri had the honour of attending the Endow Manitoba Community Foundation Provincial Conference in Winnipeg this weekend and what an experience it was! Stay tuned for more photos and stories to come...

When you give to a community foundation you are investing in your hometown. A gift today will support local programs and projects that contribute to well-being of everyone in your community now and forever.

Manitoba is home to 57 community foundations โ€“ the most community foundations per capita in North America. Each community foundation supports its local communityโ€™s unique needs.

Community Foundation Day is recognized annually on April 26. It acknowledges the vital role that community foundations play in contributing to the well-being of Manitobans, and the generosity of our citizens. It also recognizes the committed volunteers who lead the community foundation movement.

Thomas Sill was a very meticulous chartered accountant who had several offices in Manitoba. He was a quiet bachelor and was very philanthropic all his life. As per his wishes, The Thomas Sill Foundation was started in 1987 when he passed away and it became one of Manitobaโ€™s largest private charitable organizations.

A quote from one of his partners said, โ€œHe knew the importance of community and power of philanthropy in driving positive change. He was a keen curler, a humble bachelor, and self-described fish and chips enthusiast.โ€ The proud Winnipeg native was interested in responding to communitiesโ€™ immediate well-being needs.

Be sure to share this opportunity within your organization and community, imagine the possibilities of community based projects.
