In 2014, a charitable gift was made to the Edmonton Community Foundation (ECF), to create the “Edmonton Down Syndrome Society Funds”. This endowment fund is a permanent, self- sustaining source of funding for the EDSS and is held in trust and managed by the Edmonton Community Foundation in perpetuity.
Annually, the EDSS receives a grant in the amount of 4% of the Fund’s value, with any earnings in excess of this distribution used to build the funds’ market value. This grant can be used to support any of the EDSS’s initiatives and programs.
Anyone can make a gift to this endowed fund, and support a permanent legacy for the Edmonton Down Syndrome Society. If you are interested in supporting our endowed fund, please contact Kathy Hawkesworth, Director of Donor Services @ 780-426-0015 or khawkesworth@ecfoundation.org at the Edmonton Community Foundation. All donations receive a charitable tax receipt directly from the ECF.
Alternatively, you can donate to us through CanadaHelps.
A tax receipt is issued for any donation of $20 or more.
