Appreciation and Recognition
The Heritage Community Foundation brings the heritage
of Alberta to all Albertans. The Foundation challenges
and informs all Albertans by discovering, preserving,
and presenting Alberta's heritage. We do this through
research and writing, digital technology and web
development, educational resource creation, and
experiential learning. This work requires an expert
staff, as well as valuable partnerships and supporters
who provide funding, content, and expertise.
Understanding heritage allows us to understand our
culture, our history, our environment, our living
communities, each other, and ourselves. It takes a great
deal of work to discover, preserve, and present what is a
part of our culture, history, environment, and our living
communities to all Albertans. Albertans who are young and
old.
Albertans who learn by reading, by viewing, by
participating. Albertans who want to learn and understand
more about their province. Albertans who understand that
this knowledge will mean that our children and our
children's children will better understand their world and
how to live in it.
The heritage of Alberta is exciting and alive. As
friends, supporters, and partners we value your support.
Donor Recognition and Stewardship are an integral part
of the Heritage Community Foundation's Development
Program. The Foundation thanks donors promptly for their
gifts in a manner appropriate to the size of their gifts
and consistent with their personal wishes. The Foundation
has developed a Donor Recognition and Stewardship
Policy based on industry standards of practice and Canada
Revenue Agency (CRA) guidelines. The Foundation will
seek the ongoing advice of existing and potential donors
regarding donor recognition and stewardship.
The Heritage Community Foundation's A to Z Campaign
in support of the Alberta Online Encyclopedia
provides a range of funding opportunities from research
and development to endowments and planned giving.
