Funds

Not everyone can create a private foundation, but any individual, family or group can establish a Fund within the Community Foundation of Swan Valley Inc.

Contact any board member for information to create your fund, adding it to the list of restricted funds.

Scholarships and Bursaries

The Province of Manitoba in 2006 introduced a five-year program to match new scholarship or bursary funds established within Manitoba Community Foundations to a maximum of $100,000 per year.

Several funds have been established by our Community Foundation under this initiative to assist students pursuing higher levels of education. Contact any board member for information to create your fund, adding it to the list of scholarships and bursaries.

Leave a Legacy…

Think of community as another heir and leave a legacy to the Valley.

“Will Power” is what individuals create when they prepare a will. It enables people to provide for loved ones and, if they wish, to make a difference in their community.

After providing for family and friends, some donors leave a percentage of the residue of their estate to their local foundation. By doing so, their gift may result in a substantial tax benefit making everyone a winner.

We can help you establish a permanent fund and leave a legacy for generations to come. We have a variety of funds available. It is never too early to plan your estate.

To learn more about making a gift to the Foundation, contact your lawyer, accountant or financial advisor for particulars.
