Centennial Legacy Club: Centennial Legacy Club members are those who donated at least $1,000 between December 1, 2007 and December 31, 2008 to mark the Town of Swan River’s 100th birthday. The names of all the donors are engraved on a monument situated in the Legion Park in Swan River. A tree was also planted beside the monument as a tribute to those who created a lasting legacy during the Town’s centennial year. See a listing of members.

Heritage Club: Heritage Club members are those who donated $1,000 or more. The Heritage Club evolved with more than one purpose in mind – not just to raise funds, but to provide a central location to recognize publicly the contributions of individuals and families, past or present, and to enable each of us to be benefactors of that heritage. The fund opened April 9, 2009 and closed June 30, 2015. Each donation of $1,000 to the Community Foundation of Swan Valley enables families or friends to have the name of the individual or family placed on a plaque located on the Swan Valley Museum grounds. The funds raised will be a source of revenue to be passed down to the generations who follow to make this valley their home. See a listing of members.
