Membership Annual Meeting |
- In May of 2003, the Foundation held 'Philanthropy Day' at the
Lakes Art Center. The goal for this event was to increase the
visibility of local non-profit organizations, so that the general
public would be more aware of the work these organizations are
doing and in hopes that potential donors might choose to make
their charitable gifts locally. An additional component of this
event was to provide both potential donors and the non-profits
with a greater understanding of the 'Power of Endowments.'
- Two membership "focus group" meetings were held at the
Lakes Art Center in late May and early June of 2004. These
meetings were well attended and provided members with an
opportunity to brainstorm for new project ideas. They also
recognized the variety of positive impacts -- through funding
assistance given to various community betterment project -- the
organization has had on the Iowa Great Lakes Area.
- Additionally, the Okoboji Foundation holds its
Membership Annual Meeting each August.
