Being an active part of the community has always been a priority for Jim and Sandy Beingessner. As members of many charitable organizations throughout the community, the Beingessners understand the need for funding. With the creation of the Jim and Sandy Beingessner and Family Fund, they will be able to help the community in a regular and lasting way. "We wanted to establish an endowment in our community that will assist charities in our lifetime and allow our children to maintain and grow that endowment well into the future," says Jim Beingessner.

With their children born and raised in Kitchener , the Beingessners feel a strong connection to the community. "We are hoping that our endowment encourages others in the community to do the same thing. The only way to keep our community strong is with financial support."

Through the endowment, the Beingessners can now grant funds in response to needs in our area and ensure that the organizations that are important to them receive the funding they deserve.
