The Calgary Foundation: Addressing the Needs of People in the Community

Since 1955, Calgary Foundation has been nurturing a healthy, vibrant, giving, and caring community. Each year, Calgary Foundation flows millions of dollars to every corner of our city, supporting causes as myriad as our population. Our hope is that these funds bring the knowledge that a city is a profound thing to share. The strength and value of a community foundation is reflected in a strong and sustainable charitable sector. Eva Friesen, CEO, will share inspirational stories and highlights of its 70-year history.
Presented in Partnership with Chinook Country Historical Society, a Chapter of the Historical Society of Alberta. CCHS is dedicated to promoting a greater understanding of Canadian and Alberta history for people of all ages. Organized in 1958 and incorporated in 1993, CCHS covers the region from Olds to Nanton and from the BC border to the Saskatchewan border.
