About Us
The Shaping Volga leadership team has been challenged to raise $200K in local endowment dollars over three years. This will enable us to capture the $40,000 challenge grant and build a $240,000 endowment with an annual payment of $12,000 to better our community. The anonymous donor also awards our team $8,000 in cash for a project when we reach $80,000 in local dollars raised and $5,000 for another project when we have $120K raised.
Mission
The Shaping Volga Leadership Team will make grants to jump start the brightest ideas for Volga's future. A preliminary survey points to Volga needing signage and bringing back our downtown as first projects. That focus can change over time based on community visions for Volga's future.

Building on this success, the team intends to establish this and other events as recurring traditions, cultivating lasting memories and community spirit in Volga.
