Red River Mutual’s community support initiative is back for its seventh consecutive year!  

Since 2020, we’ve provided over $1 million in funding to 60+ community spaces across Manitoba and Saskatchewan — and we know there are still more communities and spaces we can support across the Prairies. 

Our goal with Spruce Up Your Story is to honour and protect the spaces that are well-worn and well-loved — the places where stories are already being made. Whether it’s a roof fix on a youth centre, a fresh coat of paint on a park fence, or new seating in an ice rink, Red River Mutual will support the restoration of select community spaces where people connect, laugh, learn, and share.   

We’ll fund up to $25,000 in cash for select, well-loved community spaces across Manitoba and Saskatchewan, with $150,000 in total to award.  

If your space is a hub of activity, supports a sense of belonging in your community, and is looking worn down and in need of a spruce up, then we want to hear from you! Share your story for a chance to receive support from Red River Mutual by filling out our form here: Spruce Up Your Story Submission Form 

This year’s Spruce Up Your Story submissions are open until Sunday, May 31.

At Red River Mutual, your story is ours to protect. And we’re committed to ensuring that communities can continue to have shared spaces to create stories for years to come.
