NDAD recently was one of 16 local nonprofits awarded a total of $62,000 from The Minot Community Endowment Fund (MCEF).

Representatives from many MCEF grant recipients gathered for a photo, including NDAD's Marsha Dupré (left, holding the right corner of the ceremonial check), client services representative for Minot and north-central North Dakota.

DAD's Minot office received a $1,500 grant to purchase three 10-foot metal ramps for our charity's Healthcare Equipment Loan Program (HELP).
