ECF is a charitable organization that helps donors achieve their philanthropic dreams through the power of endowment funds. Each year approximately 4 per cent of these investments are granted to organizations and causes that are important to our donors. To date ECF oversees more than $455 million in assets and has granted more than $150 million to the community since 1989.
Edmonton Community Foundation (ECF) exists to help the people of Edmonton and area by encouraging philanthropy and funding charitable activities. Through contributions from donors, the Foundation assembles and administers permanent pools of capital so the returns can be perpetually reinvested in our community. The Foundation complements and supports other charitable agencies.
