The
Heritage Community Foundation is a charitable
Trust (Charitable Number: 87082 2541 RR0001)
committed to connecting people with heritage. As a
new kind of community foundation, it is not bounded
by geography but based on interest in the value of
heritage for individuals, their communities and
society.
The Foundation has already
received recognition for its state-of-the-art
programs involving new technology and experiential
learning. Working collaboratively with public and
private-sector partners, the Foundation seeks
support not only for its own flagship programs but
also for those of partners and stakeholders at the
local, regional, provincial and national levels.
The Foundation's goal is for
heritage to be valued by everyone. Heritage is
broadly defined in all its aspects—historical,
natural, cultural, scientific and technological. The
Foundation exists:
To be a strong public voice for
heritage.
To build individual and community
identity and pride through research, public
education and youth programs.
To build resources to sustain
heritage institutions, organizations and related
projects and activities.
The Heritage Community Foundation
has the following primary areas of interest based on
its charitable objects: Youth Programs, Public
Education and Research. All programs link people
with place, stories, objects, landscapes,
traditions—all of those aspects that define us as
individuals and communities. The following are the
Foundation's flagship programs.
