“Showing by example”

Early in the first years of the Regina Community Foundation -- later changed to The South Saskatchewan Community Foundation -- it was clear to the Ambler Family that for the sake of growth, we’d need to show by example that we had confidence in this newly-established Foundation.

That’s why there is a “Mr. and Mrs. Jack Ambler Fund” in the South Saskatchewan Community Foundation.

“Begin with an Investment”

“As one of the founding members of the Regina Community Foundation, I was inspired by the success of The Winnipeg Foundation which was Canada’s very first foundation. There is only one way to comprehend the potential impact of a Community Foundation in South Saskatchewan — by getting involved.”

The simplest way, is to begin with an investment. That was the start of the “Gen and Murray Grant Fund”

“We think highly of the Foundation and of the work that it does. To help ensure that it is able to continue, we established the Mary and Vern Fowke Fund. This will help the Foundation to continue as an ongoing and viable entity in the community.”
