Giving
However you want to give, we'll help your generosity grow into something lasting — for Winnipeg, and every generation that follows.
Generosity has no limits
Your generosity, combined with others and invested to grow, compounds into something permanent: a lasting source of good for the city you love.
Make your generosity count for more
There are many ways to give. Whatever path fits your goals, we’ll make sure your generosity goes further and lasts longer.
Generations of impact
Since 1921, we’ve been growing and giving alongside Winnipeg. In 2025 alone, 9,770 contributions helped support 1,000 charities through grants totaling $115 million. Your generosity is in good hands.
The power of endowments
Your gift does more good when it’s pooled with thousands of other Winnipeggers who share your commitment to this city. Together, those gifts form an endowment that keeps giving — generating new support for the community, year after year, long after any single gift would have run out.
Winnipeggers investing in Winnipeg
The Winnipeg Foundation is led by the community it serves. Our volunteers, boards and committees are Winnipeggers who live and work in this city, people who share your investment in its future because they’re part of it too.
Support where it’s needed most
No one knows Winnipeg like we do. More than a century of relationships, research and community partnerships means we can help your gift find the place it will do the most good — whether that’s a cause close to your heart, or wherever our city needs it most.
Whatever your giving goals, there’s a fund type to match them.
Your giving, your way
Every gift makes an impact, whatever its size or form. We welcome gifts by:
- Credit card, cheque, or cash
- Stocks and other securities
- Appreciated property
- Life insurance
- Gifts from American donors in USD (contact us for receipting details)
