For GOOD... For EVER...

You can support a range of projects and individuals in our community. When you make a gift of cash, appreciated stocks or other assets to the Battlefords and District Community Foundation, you are making a difference forever.

You can become personally involved in how your donation benefits others by establishing a Donor Advised Fund. Have a discussion with us or your estate planner about the tax benefits you can gain by establishing a fund with us.
