Community foundations are among the fastest-growing forms of philanthropy in Canada today. We act as a bridge between donors and Peace Country charities to help create and maintain a strong, vibrant community for generations to come. As a registered charity and local grantmaker we support community needs in all areas:
gifts today, grants tomorrow
Through permanent endowment funds, the Foundation aims to disburse 3.5 per cent of assets annually to charities. As well, the Foundation takes a direct role in selected community initiatives that help further the vision of a strong community.
