The Winnipeg Foundation is “committed to connecting donors with opportunities to support causes they care about, as well as identifying and responding to the changing needs of our community”.
We established The Circle of Life Endowment Fund in partnership with The Winnipeg Foundation to support what we believe are the two most vulnerable (dependent) populations in our society, the very young and the elderly. Taking advantage of new knowledge and innovation our goal is to improve the lifelong outcomes for children and the quality of life of the elderly. Gifts to this fund are invested and the annual income generated for grant making will support organizations and projects working in these areas.
