Are you a part of our $10 for 12 initiative?

What is the $10 for 12 Endowment Fund Campaign?


The "$10 for 12" campaign is a simple and impactful initiative that invites members like you to make a monthly donation of at least $10 for the next 12 months. These contributions will continue to build a robust endowment fund, ensuring the long-term sustainability and growth of our Rural Leadership North Dakota Alumni Association (RLNDAA). We are looking for 100 individuals to commit to donating $10 for 12 months to the RLNDAA Endowment fund. Recurring giving is an easy, automatic way to support the RLNDAA Foundation that works for your budget and schedule. Building our endowment fund allows current program participants and alumni to maximize their project's impact on their community and our state!


Why should you participate?

  1. Invest in the Future: Your monthly donation will go directly into the endowment fund, providing a stable financial base for our association to invest in community projects across the state.

  2. Empower Leaders: By contributing to the endowment fund, you are supporting the development of leaders across rural North Dakota. Your investment will boost our efforts to support leaders' engagement in their communities and positively impact the state of North Dakota.

  3. Leave a Lasting Legacy: Imagine the legacy we can create together! Your participation in the $10 for 12 campaign will be a testament to your commitment to the success and sustainability of our association for generations to come.


How can you join?

A $10 or $25 monthly donation can make a huge difference and is easy to set up!

  2. Click on the "Recurring Donation Amount" button.
  3. Choose your monthly donation amount (minimum $10).

Spread the Word!

Share this message to encourage others to join the campaign. We welcome anyone who wishes to support our efforts to advance agriculture and rural communities. The more participants we have, the stronger our endowment fund will become. Our goal is to have 100 participants in this initiative.
