A new endowment fund has been set up for the Kenora and Lake of the Woods Regional Community Foundation.
The Pinecrest District Home for the Aged has established a 50 thousand dollar fund.
Income from the fund will be used by the long term care facility to operate its programs.
Anyone can contribute to the endowment fund and donations will be accepted either through the foundation or Pinecrest.
In the past five years, the Community Foundation has presented over 547 thousand dollars in grants to various community groups.
