    La Fondation franco-albertaine’s mission is to promote, initiate and manage charitable activities to benefit the intellectual, spiritual and social development of the French community in Alberta at every level by helping it achieve financial autonomy.

    Since 2007, over 100 endowment funds have been created through La Fondation franco-albertaine. An endowment fund donates only part of its interest annually thus protecting the capacity of the fund to give in perpetuity.

    La Fondation’s Investment Policy

    The endowment funds created at La Fondation franco-albertaine give bursaries and financial help to the community respecting the donors’ objectives in areas such as education, history, sports, health, leadership, community projects, business and entrepreneurship. Since its establishment in 1995, a total of more than $700,000 has been given back to the community by La Fondation while preserving the initial donations.

    Do you believe that French is an important part of Alberta? Every dollar you donate to La Fondation franco-albertaine is a dollar to support forever the contributions of Alberta’s French community.
