What is a Community Foundation?

Founded on trust a Community Foundation is a collection of endowed funds established by individuals and corporations to enhance the quality of life in a particular area. The Community Foundation is a volunteer driven autonomous, non-political, non-governmental registered public charity.  All endowment funds are invested in a professional managed portfolio and the income is made available for distribution to support charitable activities in the community.

The Community Foundation attempts to create a better community today tomorrow and forever by:

● Providing donors with choices through a wide range of giving options, appropriate recognition and a full range of charitable causes they may wish to support.

● Helping professional advisors provide added value to their clients as far as charitable giving is concerned.

● Making responsible grants with a commitment to funding and supporting all facets of our community. With our broad view of community needs and opportunities we are uniquely placed to make grants to a wide range of charities throughout South Eastern Alberta.

● Participating as knowledgeable partners in community life, the Foundation contributes a level of broad yet local and regional charitable expertise.
