Bringing education to rural Mexican area, one school at a time
When Mariana Day moved in 1989 to the small beach town of Chacala, in Nayarit, Mexico, she noticed that the surrounding rural areas struggled to maintain schools. And most children weren’t able to go beyond an eighth-grade education. Day, who is a member of the Rotary Club of Bahía de Jaltemba-La Peñita, in Nayarit, had started a local scholarship program before she joined Rotary. Called Changing Lives, the program provided students with high school tuition, uniforms, school supplies, and transportation. In addition, Rotary clubs from the United States and Mexico have been investing in the...

Edmonton Community Foundation explained.

Posted on Jan 08, 2016

Director of Donor Services, Kathy Hawkesworth, spoke to us about the Edmonton Community Foundation.

Kathy Hawkesworth, Director of Community Services

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.
