With learning as its primary focus, the Limestone Learning Foundation raises funds from individual donors, businesses & corporations, service clubs, granting organizations, special events, memorial gifts, legacy gifts (bequests, life insurance), gifts of stocks, etc. Teachers submit applications twice per year for grants to support creative enhanced learning projects which will help make learning come alive for their students. Funding is provided for materials/supplies, minor equipment, specialized reading/math/art supplies etc. for these projects but funding is not provided for regular education expenses such as teacher salaries, regular textbooks/library books, capital improvements, renovations, transportaion costs, etc. - in short, things that your taxes should pay for through the regular School Board budget. To date, more than $1.1 million has been provided to over 460 enhanced learning projects at schools and education centres throughout the Limestone district.

While we primaily exist to help enable and maximize the fundraising efforts of organizations in Canada, our efforts, and those organizations we serve in Canada, can also help advance the charitable objectives of communities worldwide. How we accomplish this is through the unique programs we offer such as fundraiser grants, financing and product resources designed to best surmount the circumstantial needs of a particular organization. Our fundraising solutions can help organizations in any sector and of any size being designed simple enough to deploy by "the novice", yet offer "fundraising professionals" the scalabilty and high-yield appeal for national campaigns.

Serving families for over 25 years, the Montreal Fluency Centre (MFC) provides assessment and treatment of children with language and learning difficulties. At our centre, we see over 100 children weekly. A third of them come from low-income families from Montreal, Laval, the South Shore and the surrounding areas. Thanks to our bursary program these families can receive treatment at a very low cost to cover their children's needs. The MFC integrates professional best practices with state of the art technology to develop unique programs for our community. We work in collaboration with health authorities, school boards, local community groups and parents. Our program results are shared from the local to international arena, thereby allowing others to use or improve our intervention models.

Daytrippers is a registered charity led by a volunteer group of young professionals dedicated to giving back to the community. Daytrippers-sponsored trips are often the only vehicle through which underprivileged children can explore the world beyond their neighbourhoods and gain new perspectives on the world. Thanks to funds raised by Daytrippers, inner-city children have visited conservation areas, gone camping, and walked through a forest for the first time. And children from rural areas have visited Parliament in Ottawa, the Royal Ontario Museum, and many other cultural institutions that are inaccessible in their home environment. We cannot run these trips without your help. With your donation, everybody wins: STUDENTS get an educational and fun experience that they will remember for a lifetime, TEACHERS get to take their classes to a whole new learning environment like nothing they can offer in school, and YOU get to make a difference - and get a tax receipt.

The Wild Pacific Trail is a hiking and interpretive trail located in the village of Ucluelet. The trail skirts the rugged cliffs and shoreline along the West Coast of Vancouver Island. It overlooks Barkley Sound and the Broken Group Islands to the east and the open Pacific Ocean to the south and west. Our Vision is to create a spectacular trail system tracing scenic and cultural areas on the Ucluth Peninsula, especially the outer coast from Amphitrite lighthouse to the beaches of Pacific Rim National Park Reserve. The trail offers an outdoor hiking experience that is free and appropriate for all fitness levels, for many generations to come. Our goal is to maintain a trail corridor that preserves a natural setting and enhances the walking experience through interpretive signage about culture, history and nature.

The Foundation raises money for bursaries so under-represented women, and women with limited financial means can attend WIFT-T programs. As part of our strategic plan, we will also be launching a fundraising campaign to update our groundbreaking study Frame Work: Employment in Canadian Screen-Based Media-A National Profile. The Foundation also allows us to hold networking events that support the industry as a whole. Your donation will help directly support women in screen-based media (film, television and digital media) to build, advance and sustain their careers nationally and internationally.

Welcome to Historica Canada, the largest, independent organization dedicated to Canadian history, identity and citizenship. Canada needs a strong, non-partisan advocate of civic engagement. Why us? Because too many Canadians do not know their past, and it weakens our democracy. Nor do we know enough about the nature of our citizenship. The Historica-Dominion Institute’s mission, then, is to promote our memory and celebrate our identity. To become—in an imaginative, relevant way—the future of the past in Canada. Today, more than 140 years after Confederation, Canadians wonder who we are. A commitment to the story of Canada is not only a commitment to remember our ancestors and the country they built; it represents the soul of our citizenship.
