What is a Community Foundation? / What we do

Community Foundations are a network of charitable organizations that provide long term support for initiatives and improve the lives of people in a specific geographical area. This is done with the help of charitable gifts from donors to create an endowment fund. The investment income is then used to make grants. The Dauphin & District Community Foundation is one of over 200 members of the Community Foundations of Canada, and one of 56 in Manitoba. We are proud to be part of a national effort and a member of the  Community Foundations of Canada. We are also affiliates of The Winnipeg Foundation, the first community foundation in Canada.

The Parkland is still reeling from the motor vehicle accident on June 15, 2023 near Carberry, MB that claimed the lives of 16 Dauphin and area residents and left nine others in hospital. But we’ve rallied together as a community to support each other.

Many people near and far have expressed condolences and words of encouragement to us; we appreciate you thinking of our community.
