The Community Foundation of Greater Grande Prairie is a local organization created by and for the people of the Peace Country Region.

Since inception in 1996, the Foundation has invested more than $3.7 million to enhance and strengthen our community; supporting over 450 charitable programs, services and projects.

The Foundation:

• gives donors choices: how to make their gift, how that gift might be recognized and what charitable causes they may wish to support;

• helps professional advisors provide added value to their clients;

• provides financial support for a wide variety of charitable causes; and

• participates in broader community initiatives, providing broad-based expertise throughout the charitable sector.

Our Approach

Many organizations are working for better communities, but a few important factors make our approach stand out:

• We bring donors to the table as community builders

We help them formulate and realize their philanthropic goals, matching their interests and concerns with local community needs and organizations. We help them find innovative and responsible ways to give their investments lasting impact.

• We take the broadest view of what a community is and what it needs to succeed

That’s why our grants support all charitable sectors including Arts & Culture, Education, Health, Seniors, Children & Youth, Sports & Recreation, the Environment & Social Services

• We take the long-term view for our community

We identify long-term needs and opportunities and invest in sustainable solutions, helping our community become resilient, resourceful, and ready for the future.
