GDCF Operations Endowment Fund
Inspired by the generosity of longtime donor and past board member Evelyn Keenleyside, this video shares the story behind her remarkable 15-year commitment to supporting the Foundation’s operations. Evelyn’s belief that “every dollar matters” reminds us that investing in the essentials, like staff, technology, and administration, is what makes lasting community impact possible.
Our endowments are built to last - they earn interest forever, creating a steady source of funding for projects and programs, now and for generations to come.
When you donate through Canada Helps, a 4% administration fee is applied. However, donating directly to our Foundation via e-transfer, cheque, cash, or bank transfer reduces that fee to just 1.5%, meaning more of your gift goes directly to supporting this cause.
