Brooks and District Community Fund

Brooks and District Community Fund Vibrant, healthy, caring communities – today, tomorrow, forever! The original idea for the Community Foundation came from a local area rancher, Mr.

John Ignatius, who had supported other Community Foundations and sought to have a local organization provide similar community benefits. John made the first endowed donation of $25,000 and encouraged his many family, friends and colleagues to follow his example. The Medicine Hat Community Foundation was then founded in 1992 through an act of Legislature of the Province of Alberta. John passed away

in January 2000 and, true to his word, left the vast majority of his estate to the Foundation. John’s financial contribution was in excess of $2.4 million but his biggest legacy was the original creation of the Foundation which continues to support vibrant, healthy, caring communities across Southeastern Alberta – today, tomorrow, forever! The CFSEA is a non-government, non-political and non-religious independent organization that operates under the guidance of a diverse group of community-minded volunteer Board of Directors.

Celebrating another incredible year of the Youth in Philanthropy Program! 🎉

This year, the students from St. Luke's Outreach and the Brooks Composite Highschool each had $1,950 to distribute to the charitable organizations of their choice. Through thoughtful discussions, research, and collaboration, students had the opportunity to learn firsthand about community needs and the impact of charitable giving.

We are proud of the passion, leadership, and generosity these young philanthropists demonstrated as they made meaningful funding decisions that will strengthen our community. Thank you to all the students, educators, and nonprofit organizations who made this year's program such a success.

Together, we're inspiring the next generation of community leaders and changemakers. 💙
