2022 Endowment Fund Values Did you know each committee has its own endowment fund invested with The Winnipeg Foundation?

In addition to the base $5,000 your committee has to grant each year; you can grant even more by growing your endowment fund. When you give to your school’s endowment, The Foundation will match that gift dollar-for-dollar (for a total match of up to $500 each year). The more you give to your endowment fund, the more grants you can make, and the more you help our community.

Words that describe my YiP year: Fun, Educational, Rewarding, Leadership, Exciting, Inspirational, Insightful.

I loved visiting the charities. It really gave me an insight into charitable organizations in Winnipeg.

This year, I learned how awesome Winnipeg communities are and how we all help each other in times of need.

I found the granting experience and site visits as a way to know how much YiP members can have an impact in our own communities!

I really enjoyed being able to work with my committee to make a change within our communities.

28

YiP allowed me to gain leadership skills and meet other people from outside of my committee who were also passionate about giving to their community.

Even though the pandemic is still continuing, we have continued to do our part to learn about and help the community!

The best part of YiP this year was everything!

The site visits were an excellent opportunity for youths to go out into the community and get involved. It was a very formative experience and helped me to learn a lot! It was a great experience, to see the passion that youths have for philanthropy and for our community.

We are grateful to the compassionate and engaged youths who made impactful grants, the staff advisors who kept us motivated and on track, and for the agencies who shared their knowledge and time as we continue to walk together through these challenging times.

About YiP The Winnipeg Foundation’s Youth in Philanthropy (YiP) program is made possible thanks to the generosity of donors from all walks of life who make gifts through The Foundation. YiP was established in 1999 to introduce local high school students to philanthropy and community development. The program provides hands-on experience that benefits participating students and local charities alike. It also brings valuable new perspectives to The Foundation’s grant-making, while empowering youth as decisionmakers and leaders. This year, more than 300 students representing 21 high schools and three community organizations allocated $139,000 in grants to local charities based on each committee’s chosen Cause. During the past 23 years, The Winnipeg Foundation’s youth programming has granted over $2 million into the community.

About The Winnipeg Foundation For 101 years, The Winnipeg Foundation has had much to celebrate, including the accomplishments of its YiP program, grantees, and participants. The Foundation is built by donors who share our vision of “a Winnipeg where community life flourishes for all.” Since its establishment in 1921, The Foundation has supported programs and projects in the areas of arts, culture and heritage; children, youth, and families; environment and animal welfare; health, wellness, and recreation; and literacy, education, and employment. In 2021, The Winnipeg Foundation distributed $84.9 million to the community. Thank you for your role in that success!
