Permanent Endowment
Saturday, October 11th, 2008At its last Board meeting the Kenora Association for Community Living took a bold and forward planning step to better ensure a greter degree of equality of opportunity for those it serves in the future. Continuing pressures for services and lack of government funding have placed pressures on the Association to cut back on some of its non-funded programs and supplemental activities. While it may still have to do so, in the short run, the Association has set up a permanet endowment and will shortly ask the community to contribute in the long term hope of providing some additional non-government funding to be directed at its mission of assuring that persons with special needs have opprtunities for a meaningful and satisfying life and to interact as equals in their community. The logo for the Kenora Association for Community Living permanent endowment is a yellow infinity sign against a blue background. Blue represents the poverty and the marginalization faced by persons with disabilities. Yellow represents the vision of a better future. The infinity sigh represents the ongoing nature of the gift to a permanent endowment. A gift to a permanent endowment is a gift that keeps on giving and giving.
