Thursday, December 11, 2014       WPS Endowment Receives Generous Donation From Local Business   On January 13, 2014, as part of our ongoing efforts to create a renewed culture of safety in our community, the Winnipeg Police Service (WPS) announced the creation of the WPS Endowment Fund.   Established through the Winnipeg Foundation, which will be responsible for the administration and management of the fund, with the oversight of a committee comprised of WPS members, this fund will enable programs that assist at-risk and underserved children, youths and their families, to apply for funds.   On December 11, 2014, the Zeid family, owners of Foodfare, presented Chief Clunis with a donation of $25,000, the largest donation to WPS Endowment Fund to date. In addition to this generous donation, the Zeid family has committed to donating $10,000 annually to the fund. These contributions will assist the Service's vision of creating a culture of safety and assist the efforts of community organizations working to make our city a better place.   Anyone interested in supporting this initiative can visit The Winnipeg Foundation website at www.wpgfdn.org/wpsfund to make a donation toward the fund. Donations will be invested as capital with the annual earnings used to subsidize initiatives within Winnipeg.   The Service will begin accepting grant requests on January 1, 2015 until February 28, 2015, with grants being disturbed in April 2015 to successful recipients.   Further information on this initiative as well as a direct link to The Foundation website, through which you can make a contribution, can be found here: www.winnipeg.ca/police        For further information contact either: Constable Jason Michalyshen, Public Information Officer Constable Eric Hofley, Public Information Officer Detective Sergeant Natalie Aitken, Public Information Officer Phone: (204) 986-3061 | Fax: (204) 986-3267 | Email: WPS-PIO@Winnipeg.ca Share this mailing with your social network by clicking on the appropriate link:       Related Winnipeg Police Service Report a Crime Online Crime Stoppers CrimeStat Unsubscribe If you do not want to receive these emails anymore, unsubscribe.
