BISMARCK, N.D. -- During
the week of November 12-18, 2016,
the North Dakota Community Foun-
dation (NDCF) will join more than
780 community foundations across
America celebrating Community
Foundation Week. For more than 25
years, the effort has raised awareness
about the increasingly important
role of these philanthropic organi-
zations in fostering local collabora-
tion and innovation to address per-
sistent civic• and economic chal-
lenges.
NDCF currently administers
community endowment funds for 63
community foundations in North
Dakota, including the most recent
additions in 2016: the Dickinson
Area Community Foundation in
western North Dakota and the
Wishek Area Community Founda-
tion in south central North Dakota.
Community foundations at
NDCF in this part of the state include
,: • The Grafton Community En-
dowment Fund, established in 1981
• The Park River Area Commu-
nity Endowment Fund, established
in 1983
• The Drayton Area Community
Foundation, established in 2005
• The Cavalier Co|nmunity Foun-
dation, established in 2005
• The Larry J. Wflwant Fund for
Pembina, ND, established in 2007
• The Walhalla Area Communi-
ty Fotmdation, established in 2009
"Community foundations are
like having a charitable savings ac-
count for your area," said Kevin
Dvorak, President and CEO of
NDCE "Whatever the needs are in
your community in any given year,
your local community fotmdation
will have resources available to ad-
dress those needs."
Community foundations are in-
dependent, public entities that stew-
ard philanthropic resources from in-
stitutional and individual donors to
local nonprofitS that are the heart of
strong, vibrant communities. NDCF
expects to grant out over $3 million
in 2016 through its various funds.
These grants are •used in a variety of
ways to improve the quality of life
for North Dakota residents. Some
examples of 2016 grants include:
• A $15,000 grant from the
Clarence Johnson and Eunice iwen
Community Foundation for Arthur,
ND for payment on a new fire track
• A$1,500 grant from the Car-
rington Community Endowment
Fund to the Carrington City Library
for the summer reading program and
summer help
• A $1,308.75 grant from the Glen
Ullin Community Foundation to
the Glen Ullin Senior Club for their
dining room floor renovation
• A $20,000 g ant from the Minot
Colmnunity Endowment Fund to
the Children's Museum of Minot,
Inc. for exhibit space
• A $226 grant from the New
Rockford Community Foundation to
the Community Ambulance Service
for a Community CPR/First Aid
Progam
• A $3,400 grant from the Stanley
Area Community Foundation to the
Stanley High School Band to help
with costs of new band uniforms
"The grants vary, depending on
what the local advisory committee
feels is most important to their com-
munity at that time," said Dvorak.
Colnmunity foundations repre-
sent one of the fastest-growing
lbrms of philanthropy. Every state
in the United States is home to at
least one community foundation--
large and small, urban and rural--
working to advance solutions on a
wide range of social issues. For com-
munity foundations at NDCF, each
fund has an advisory committee
made up of local residents that rec-
ommend grant awards to the proj-
ects and programs they believe will
make the most significant impact in
their area.
The State of North Dakota en-
courages donors to direct their phil-
anthropic dollars toward endowment
funds such as the community foun-
dations at NDCF through a 40%
State Tax Credit passed in 2011.
"That is a huge benefit to
donors," said Dvorak. "'A girl of
$5,000 to a community's endow-
ment fund may actually have an out-
of-pocket cost to the donor of only
$1,600 depending on their federal
tax bracket. We certainly encourage
people to look at their hometown
community foundation as they plan
their charitable giving for the year."
Community Foundation Week,
created in 1989 by former president
George H.W. Bush, recognizes the
work of community foundations
throughout America and their col-
laborative approach to working
with the public, private, and non-
profit sectors to ad&ess communi-
ty problems.
