Memorial and Tribute Gifts
A gift may be directed to any fund, in honour of or in remembrance of a friend or relative; to mark a special occasion; or to acknowledge someone's achievement.  The foundation will mail a personal card to avise that you have made a gift for this purpose.  This is also an ideal gift for someone on their birthday, anniversary, or for Christmas gifts. These donations may be directed to the Community Impact Fund, Founders Fund for operational support, or any other open fund.


Gifts of Cash
Donate by cash, cheque or credit card either by mail, online or in person.  Donations can be made to a new fund, a specific established endowment or field of interest, or to the foundation itself.  If the donation is in memoriam, the Foundation will send a letter to the fund creator.   Learn more...
