Honour a loved one with a memorial gift

At a time of loss, a gift to our community is a meaningful way to remember a loved one.

The Winnipeg Foundation offers a number of memorial gift options.

GIVE TO AN EXISTING FUND

You can give, or direct memorial gifts, to an existing fund.

What Cause did your love one care about? The Foundation has six Cause funds to choose from:

Looking for something else? We also have hundreds of other funds that may be a better fit. Contact us for details.

CREATE A NEW FUND

Creating a Memorial Fund provides a lasting legacy in honour of someone you love and offers a simple, flexible way to accept and acknowledge memorial gifts.

The Foundation offers you the flexibility of quickly creating a fund to which gifts can be directed. You can take your time deciding how these gifts will support the community.

Memorial Funds can be ready to accept gifts within 24-hours.

MEMORIAL FUND OPTIONS

Once you are ready, you can decide how you want the fund to be used.

You may choose to:

Establish an endowment – a permanent fund that gives back every year. This fund’s purpose may reflect your loved one’s favourite Cause or values, or benefit the community as a whole.
Contribute funds to an existing fund at The Winnipeg Foundation.
Give a one-time grant to a charity of your choice.

HOW THE FOUNDATION CAN HELP

We can help you with fund wording for the obituary, provide customized gift forms for a service, and create an online page where people can give through our website. We’ll notify you of all gifts received, thank each donor individually, and provide a tax receipt for each gift.
