In the 1998-99 fiscal year, the Foundation awarded approximately $4.5 million to over 200 Alberta volunteer, non-profit community service organizations and approximately $1.2 million to over 100 Alberta-based non-government organizations.Foundation funding assistance and its educational and volunteer initiatives, enable hundreds of Alberta’s non-profit and non-government organizations and tens of thousands of volunteers to carry out important programs and projects which contribute tremendously to Alberta’s well being. Alberta, Canada and the international community view the Wild Rose Foundation as a model organization for support, assistance and promotion of volunteer, charitable, humanitarian and philanthropic efforts. Requests for advice and assistance from the Foundation are testimony to the value of the Foundation as a resource in the volunteer sector.
