Make an Impact Today
The South Saskatchewan Community Foundation has established the Vital Community Fund as a legacy fund that will directly address the focus areas identified.
You can contribute towards the focus areas in the ‘Growing Futures Report’ by donating directly to the Vital Community Fund. This is a legacy fund that will directly address the focus areas identified in the Vital Signs report in a sustainable manner to support our community’s most pressing needs for many years to come. This fund will help every person grow safely and make their dream of a brighter future for themselves a reality.
If you are looking to make a difference, you can give to the Vital Community Fund to support initiatives addressing the interconnected focus areas highlighted in this report, including safe and affordable housing, food insecurity, mental health services, and sustaining community infrastructure.
Growing this fund can drastically increase the amount of sustainable support that charities have. This means that charities will be better equipped to deliver crucial support to the people they serve. You can be part of a movement to grow your community and secure stronger futures for all community members through the Vital Community Fund.
Give today.
Grow forever.

The Potential of the Vital Community Fund's Legacy
The Vital Community Fund is a legacy fund. This means donations to the fund build over time and grant back to charities, year after year. Below is an example of what $1M could mean for the community when invested in a legacy fund. As a result, more can be given back to charities than the initial dollars raised and the fund will continue to give back for many years to come.
We aren’t only aiming to address the issues of today but preparing future generations to be ready for challenging times in the years to come.
Legacy Giving VS One-Time Donation ($1M)*
We aren’t only addressing the issues of today but preparing future generations to be ready for challenging times in the years to come.
*The example above is based on a 3.5% disbursement rate from your Legacy Fund each year and assumes no further donations beyond the one-time donation. This rate is used for example purposes. All returns, fees, and administration fees used in the calculations are based off data from 2008 to 2022 (includes two of the toughest market years). Future results are not guaranteed and actual disbursements and results can differ. For more details, reach out to a SSCF representative.
