Building a Community Through Philanthropy

RDDCF Operating Endowment Fund
Did you know we have our own fund, established to secure a sustainable funding source for the operation costs associated with running a foundation?
As stated in our Vision, we will continue to be financially sound (self-sustaining and growing) and will be widely known our relevance and leadership in the pursuit of a healthy community. In order to be self-sustaining and growing, we continue to reinvest a portion of administration fees into our operations endowment. As the endowment grows, our capacity as an organization grows. We welcome all gifts to the Red Deer & District Community Foundation Operating Endowment Fund. If you would like to contribute, please click the button above.
