Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Plains has been awarded a $10,000 grant from United Way West Central Manitoba. Executive Director, Dawn Froese, says the funding will support new mentoring relationships in rural schools around Portage la Prairie.
“It’s the urgent/emergent funding application which is separate from the regular allocations that they do for member agencies and any not-for-profit in the community can apply. We applied to help us with our rural school expansion initiatives,” Froese explains. “We recently started a new ‘match’ in St. Claude and this grant is one of the reasons we’re able to do that.”
