The Winnipeg Foundation

The Winnipeg Foundation invested $4.2 million in our community through the 2024 Major Capital Grants program! We awarded 14 grants of $150,000 to $500,000, supporting childcare, food and housing security, healthcare, the arts, and inclusive spaces. Amid rising costs, these grants help revitalize spaces, expand services, and strengthen essential programs. The Winnipeg Foundation’s investment in childcare helps to ensure families have access to safe, high-quality early learning opportunities. S.P.L.A.S.H. Child Care Inc. plays a crucial role in supporting families, particularly those facing financial and social challenges. A $200,000 grant will help renovate its new space on Balmoral Avenue, expanding its capacity to serve 96 children in a nurturing and accessible setting. Did you know? Despite the introduction of $10-a-day daycare in Manitoba, 82% of S.P.L.A.S.H. families rely on additional fee subsidies. Accessible childcare remains a critical need, ensuring all children—regardless of financial barriers—receive the early learning support they deserve. The Foundation's Community Fund allows us to make grants, like this Major Capital Grant, that support the needs and opportunities in our community identified by charities.
