Okoboji-Spirit Lake Good Neighbor Fund Drive

The Good Neighbor Fund is a charity organization that raises funds year-round with the sole mission of benefiting local nonprofits. Our commitment lies in ensuring that 100% of the money raised goes directly to local charities, making a significant and lasting impact on the lives of those in need.

Each year the Okoboji-Spirit Lake Good Neighbor Fund kicks off its local charity fund drive in October. The Good Neighbor Fund was started in the 1950’s to help raise funds for local charities, allowing individuals in the community to donate in one place to support various local charities. The fundraising efforts have continued now for over 70 years, with last year’s fund drive distributing its highest amount ever, over $121,000.  Twenty-one local charities were provided funds to help support their financial needs.

This year’s goal is $115,000, and all funds collected will be distributed to 26 charities.  Good Neighbor Fund Drive donation forms were mailed out last week to the community.  Donations can be made by mailing these forms along with contributions to:
