The Foundation continues to help organizations go "green".
You can choose the type of fund that best reflects your interests and your goals for the future of our community. Any of these types of funds can be established over a five-year period to reach the minimum contribution level.

Fund Type
Description
Minimum Contribution
Community Building
Supports a range of charitable projects and is best able to address the changing needs of our community. This fund will respond to grant applications received by The Winnipeg Foundation from charitable organizations.
$2,500
     
Field of Interest
Focuses on a particular field, but is not limited to one organization. You define the charitable field (such as arts and culture or health), but the Foundation selects specific projects that your fund will support.
$10,000
