Starting in 2017, LACB is proud to be participating in the Impact Foundation's Giving Hearts Day. Click here for more information.
Impact Foundation offers resources that equip social and businesses entrepreneurs to accomplish their missions: we teach nonprofits how to master fundraising and businesses how to secure government contracts that deliver capital essential to their bottom lines, growth and job retention. Thanks to valuable partners, visionary directors and highly driven staff, our track record of impact mounts into tens of millions of dollars in business and charity sector expansion.
Our decade of work has built a charity community that’s keeping medicine in rural towns, food pantries brimming, roofs over the homeless, places where abandoned animals are adopted as pets, breathtaking artistic productions — and more. Businesses are attracting profitable new contracts and expanding their workforces, and government units are finding North Dakota contractors to complete local projects.
Impact Foundation serves all of North Dakota, and in the case of charity sector work, also serves nonprofits in northwestern Minnesota.
ADVERTISE IN THE PROGRAM
We are always looking for new partners who are supporters of the arts. Advertising in our programs is a direct and simple way to show your business's support of the arts. Advertisements have a wide range of prices and run in concert programs for an entire season. For more information, please use the email option below.
