The Jackman Foundation is offering grants to preserve the values and traditions of Canadian culture while responding to both the new and the ever-present requirements of its citizens.
Established in 1964 by Henry (Harry) R. Jackman, the Jackman Foundation assists organizations to answer the needs of Canadian society.
The Jackman Foundation is a private foundation, chaired since 1983 by Dr. Frederic (Eric) Jackman, Harry Jackman’s son.
Originally, the foundation funded primarily religious and educational projects. In recent years, they have expanded and now offers grants to a variety of charitable organizations. The scope ranges from major Canadian institutions to small grassroots groups, and the concerns vary from theatre to medicine, from the environment to day care. All are committed to encouraging excellence and providing help where it is needed.
As the foundation’s capital assets have grown, so have the number and size of its gifts. Since 1964 the Jackman Foundation has made grants with a value in excess of $64 million dollars to a wide variety of charitable causes.
