Giving to the Interlake Community Foundation is easy and the funds will help your community forever!
Your gift will be pooled with other gifts that will ensure maximum potential earnings at a minimal administrative expense. It’s a great way to create a lasting legacy.
New! The ICF has created its own comprehensive Giving Guide! If you have ever thought about making a donation or starting a fund to create a legacy, this is for you! Please check out the guide, and then contact us to discuss further!
Gifts and donations to the ICF may qualify as gifts to a registered charity for income tax purposes, and the ICF will issue the required receipt.

Annual or Monthly recurring gift
You make an initial contribution and a commitment to add to the initial donation over a period of months or years. Set up with a credit card and click “make a repeating gift”.
Publicly listed securities
This link will take you to the information needed at the Winnipeg Foundation, where most of our funds are invested.
Donating gifts of securities (including stocks, mutual funds and bonds) is a great way to support your community and reduce your tax bill.
When you transfer securities to the ICF through the Winnipeg Foundation, you receive a tax receipt and eliminate capital gains tax.
The Winnipeg Foundation does not charge the ICF a fee to process these transactions.
Please speak with your financial or tax advisor to see if this is the best option for you.
A bequest in a will
A gift of life insurance
By naming the Interlake Community Foundation as a beneficiary.
A gift in memory of a relative or friend
If you give us the name and address of the family, we will send them a card to let them know you have made a memorial donation.

The Foundation provides an excellent opportunity to help your community forever.
Named endowment funds
It can be set up for as little as $5,000, which will ensure your family, business, or loved one is remembered in perpetuity.
Named funds will receive continuous recognition in various formats – on our social media, on our website, in our annual newsletter, in our financial statements, at our Grant Celebration and our Annual General Meeting.
Your fund can provide a scholarship to a student, a grant to a designated charity, or be unrestricted for the ICF to allocate with our Community Grants Program. Contact us, as there are several options, including permanently endowed funds, flow-through funds and spend-down funds.
Fund grant allocations can only be paid to a qualified donee as listed by the Canada Revenue Agency.
Our permanently endowed funds are intended to last forever! We invest the donations and only pay out the grant disbursements from the income on the fund. This amount is usually between 3.5 and 5% of the Fund’s market value annually. A fund with a market value of $10,000 would annually make a grant of $350 to $500.
Community Builder Club
The Community Builder Club is another alternative that only requires a commitment to give monthly or annually with your credit card to the fund that supports your community.
Please contact Tracy Holod at 204.467.5634 tracy@interlakefoundation.ca or speak to any of our Board members for more information.
