The Yellowknife Community Foundation was formed to provide residents (and former residents) with a means of supporting projects in our community for the enduring future. The Foundation is not singularly dedicated to any specific area of support. It embodies a simple concept - that people working together can make a difference.
Our mission is to enhance the quality of life of the citizens of Yellowknife, and the surrounding area by:
* identifying and addressing current and anticipated community needs; and,
* raising, managing, and distributing investment income from donated funds to meet those needs.
In carrying out our mission to identify and address community needs, grants are made to local registered charities in support of projects which:
* advance the welfare of the needy and alleviate human suffering and poverty:
* assist and promote arts and cultural activities, sports, recreation and community development;
* advance education;
* assist and advance the provision of medical services; and
* assist and advance other community activities or facilities of a charitable nature.
