Memorials and Tributes
Some moments deserve more than flowers. Honour what matters most with a gift as lasting as the love behind it – one that keeps giving long after the day itself is gone.
A lasting tribute.
Looking for an existing fund? If someone you love has been honoured with a memorial or tribute fund, you can find it and make a gift in their name through our secure online giving portal.
More than a moment
The most meaningful celebrations don’t end when the room empties. A memorial or tribute fund takes the memories, love and admiration of the day and turns them into something permanent — every contribution gathered into one named place, growing in honour of the person or moment at the centre of it all. Long after the flowers have faded, the fund remains, directed toward the causes closest to their heart.
Simple to start, whenever you’re ready
Setting up a memorial or tribute fund is faster and easier than you might expect. You don’t need to have all the answers right away. Just let us know your wishes and a name for the fund. Within 24 hours, we can begin accepting gifts on your behalf.
From there, the Winnipeg Foundation takes care of the details:
- A secure online giving page, ready to share with family and friends
- Customized wording to help with obituary notices or celebration announcements
- Individual thank you messages and tax receipts for every donor
- Regular updates so you always know who has given
When you’re ready, our team will help you decide where the funds should go. You may choose to support a specific charity, a cause close to your loved one’s heart, or a named fund that carries their name forward as part of this city’s story.
Honour a milestone, not just a memory
Tribute funds aren’t reserved for loss. A fund can be established to celebrate a retirement, a significant birthday, a community leader, or any person or moment deserving of something lasting. If there’s someone in your life whose impact deserves recognition, a tribute fund gives it a permanent home — their story woven into this city’s future, forever.
