The Winnipeg Foundation is the first community foundation in Canada, established in 1921. We work with donors and community groups to improve the city we all call home. We are For Good. This means we help you give back to your community by connecting you with organizations and causes important to you For Good. And since we’re an endowment-based organization, your gift continues to give Forever. Co
mmunity foundations are public institutions built through generous gifts of all sizes that are pooled and permanently endowed. The interest earned from these endowments generates a sustainable source of support for local charitable projects Forever. In keeping with donors' wishes, our grants support a wide range of projects in neighbourhoods throughout our city - providing healthy food for kids, making our city greener, improving access to education, supporting creativity, helping the most challenged members of our community, and so much more. The Foundation offers flexible options for donors to help them meet their personal needs and philanthropic goals. The Foundation maintains the purchasing power of the funds entrusted to us, achieving maximum returns consistent with prudent investment and assuring sound financial management practices. Our vision is a Winnipeg where community life flourishes for all. For Good.
