The top eight finalists are:

  • Hands of Hope
  • Immigration and Refugee Organization of Manitoba (IRCOM)
  • Inclusion Winnipeg
  • Jubilee Fund
  • Manitoba Hospice Foundation
  • SCE LifeWorks
  • The Kindred Project
  • West Broadway Youth Outreach

The Winnipeg Foundation is For Good. Forever. We help people give back to our shared community by connecting generous donors with causes they care about For Good. We’re are an endowment-based public foundation, so gifts are pooled and invested, and the annual earnings are distributed back to the community Forever. Formed in 1921, we are proud to be the first community foundation in Canada.
