Being part of the North Dakota Community Foundation means we can help donors give in many different ways, not just through cash gifts.

If you’re 70.5 or older, you can make a gift of up to $108,000 directly from your IRA to the North Dakota Community Foundation for the benefit of the Carrington Community Endowment Fund. It’s an easy way to support local projects while using a tool you may already have in place.

Your generosity makes a lasting difference in our community. Connect with us anytime to explore your options. www.NDCF.net/Carrington.

Fun Fact #11: Our Advisory Committee members have a deep love for the community! Meet a hometown leader who’s making a difference behind the scenes, Carrington native and City Auditor, Jennifer Gast!

For Jennifer, "The spirit of community is evident in Carrington!” After eight years on the Advisory Committee, she’s seen firsthand just how powerful local giving can be. “It is rewarding to see how impactful giving can be for local projects right in our community.”

At our next potluck, you’ll want to save room for dessert—she’s most definitely bringing something sweet. And here’s a bonus fun fact that might surprise you: she’s really good at identifying the make and model of vehicles.

Thanks to Jennifer for her years of service and continued commitment to Carrington!

Fun Fact #7: We have an awesome volunteer Advisory Committee!

Say hello to our newest committee member, a familiar face with a heart for education and community: Janelle Helm. Janelle grew up in Devils Lake and has been married to Dean for 26 years. They have two children, Heather and Dylan.

What does she love most about Carrington? “I love the people and quality of life we have here. I also love that I can run all my errands, get groceries, grab a coffee, and it doesn’t even take an hour of my time!”

She’s new to the Advisory Committee and excited to dig in: “I love being active in our community and I believe it is very important to be involved so we can continue to improve, grow and serve our community.”

Bonus fun fact? “I grew up singing with my family and was in a country band for about 6 years!” (We’re still waiting on the comeback tour...)

Please join us in welcoming Janelle to the committee!
