Cambridge & North Dumfries Community Foundation (CNDCF) is joining #GivingTuesday on November 29th by putting the spotlight on LOCAL giving.
We are proud to be part of a community that values philanthropy, resulting to over $330,000 worth of grants distributed just within 2016, supporting a wide range of causes that matter. Each year, a team of over fifty volunteers and three part-time staff steward these assets for the good of our community. Together, we have built an asset of over $9.5 million.
Here’s a toast to everyone who has given back to their community either through donations or volunteerism!
About GivingTuesday
GivingTuesday is a day for businesses, individuals, groups and charities to join together to rally for favourite causes, create opportunities and share meaningful experiences.
Just as Black Friday kicks off the holiday shopping season, GivingTuesday marks the start of the giving season. What started four years ago in New York is now becoming a global movement that has reached 68 countries. In 2014, Vancouver, Regina, Guelph, Ottawa, and Halifax launched their charitable campaigns. The GivingTuesday Waterloo Region movement began in 2015.
Whether it’s raising awareness, volunteering or fundraising, GivingTuesday is our day to celebrate the importance and impact of giving back.
