Jonah Toth from the South Saskatchewan Community Foundation present to us.
The South Saskatchewan Community Foundation has over 50 years of history helping to facilitate philanthropy in the province by connecting donors and charities. They have been trusted to manage over $114 million in assets and from the investment earnings, they were able to grant out nearly $6 million to local charities last year alone. South Saskatchewan Community Foundation facilitates unique programs to help protect and honour agricultural legacies. More details obviously will be provided at the event but, Community Foundation is able to accept donations of farmland, issue a tax receipt for the appraised value, and continue holding the farmland in honour of the family. Income from leasing the land to local farmers would go into a legacy (endowed) fund that would forever support the causes and charities most important to the donors. It is an incredibly unique program and a wonderful way to keep farmland that has been in a family for generations intact and keep their family name alive in the local community.
Looking forward learning more and seeing you there - thank you Jonah for being willing to present to the team. Please note the location again is The Keg on Dewdney and time of 11-1pm SK time.
As always please be sure to use the RSVP function in the calendar invite to let us know if you can make it or not, so we can do our best to monitor numbers for the restaurant/reservation.
Thanks again, take care and talk soon.
