Ways to Give
Impact
The Battle River Community Foundation was created by residents of municipalities in Camrose and Flagstaff Counties, including the city, towns, villages and rural areas, to serve as a conduit between the long-term charitable intentions of donors and existing or emerging needs in their communities.
The Foundation’s primary purpose is to accept donations, invest the donations and distribute the investment income according to the wishes of donors expressed at the time the donations are made.
Since its establishment in 1995, over $10,469,392 has been granted to charities and municipalities which are encouraged to consider the Foundation as a source of funding for projects and activities related to education, health and well-being, arts and culture, recreation and more.
Step into the new year the Battle River Community Foundation
A new year brings new opportunities to give back to the communities we call home. At the Battle River Community Foundation, we’re here year-round to help donors support local charities, causes, and projects in thoughtful and lasting ways.
While the start of the year may be a quieter season for giving, our work continues every day. We partner with donors to steward charitable gifts, support local organizations, and invest in initiatives that strengthen our region, now and for generations to come.
Whether you’re exploring philanthropy for the first time, looking to make a gift, or continuing a long-standing tradition of giving, our team is always happy to start the conversation. No matter the size of the gift or the stage of life you’re in, there are many ways to make a meaningful impact close to home.
