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.
Join Us in Celebtrating Our 2026 Community Builders
Every fall, the Battle River Community Foundation pauses to honour people whose dedication has shaped the communities we call home. This year, we’re proud to celebrate two remarkable couples at our annual Community Builders Dinners.
Camrose: Bob and Valerie Bailey
Friday, October 16 | Camrose Regional Exhibition (CRE)
For more than four decades, music has been part of every chapter of Bob and Val’s lives. Bob taught music to generations of Camrose students, while Val spent years supporting the Fine Arts Department at Augustana University. Together they’ve performed with the Camrose & District Community Band, the Battle River Big Band, and the Churchmice Players, and they’ve cheered on their children’s musical and theatrical pursuits along the way. As Bob says of their long history of involvement, “We just keep showing up.”
Flagstaff County: Terry and Ellie Hamilton
Saturday, October 24 | Killam Community Hall
Terry and Ellie have never lived more than 45 miles from where they grew up, and wouldn’t have it any other way. They raised three daughters on the family farm and built a thriving agricultural business, all while giving their time to the Lions Club, the Chamber of Commerce, the local rodeo committee, and more. Their new fund at the Foundation will help support causes across the Flagstaff area. In their words: “If we don’t support and invest in the towns where we live, who will?”
