We are For Good. Forever.
What do you care about? We care about it too! No matter what you’re passionate about you can support it through The Winnipeg Foundation.
We want to help you give back to our community by connecting you with the causes you care about For Good. We are an endowment-based organization, so your gift continues to give Forever.
Our vision is “a Winnipeg where community life flourishes for all.”

What is a community foundation?
Community foundations are public charitable organizations, built through generous gifts of all sizes that are pooled and permanently invested. The interest earned from these endowments generates a sustainable source of support for local charitable projects.
The Winnipeg Foundation is Canada’s first community foundation, established in 1921. In 2023, we received more than $46.6 million in gifts and distributed $85.6 million to the community.
