History

History of the South Saskatchewan Community Foundation

It was Jack Ambler’s idea to create a Community Foundation in Regina. Jack had arrived in Regina from Charlottetown, P.E.I. in 1962 to assume the position of the Executive Director of the Regina United Appeal.

The Regina Community Chest had over $60,000; monies that had been collected over the past twenty years. Jack suggested that the money from the Community Chest form the basic capital for the Community Foundation of Regina. According to Jack, the purpose of the Foundation was to assist non-profit agencies to acquire equipment and develop new programs that would enhance the lives and well-being of all who lived in the community.

The Regina Community Foundation was incorporated under the provisions of The Societies Act of the Province of Saskatchewan on the 15th of July, 1969 with Jack Ambler serving as voluntary manager- secretary for over twenty years.

James E. Beamish, Harry Duckett, William F. English, R. Murray Grant, Douglas A. Lee, C. Greg Ryan and Clair H. Smith served as the first directors.

The Regina Community Foundation was changed to The South Saskatchewan Community Foundation in 1989.
