There are no end of words used to describe what we want our communities and country to be. However there is one word that sums it all up. Vital. The vitality of our communities is something community foundations greatly care about. Community vitality is the unique spirit that flourishes when people believe their community holds possibilities for everyone. And it can be measured by how well people’s needs are being met: from our most basic needs—sustenance, shelter, health care, safety—To those that give quality to life, such as places and opportunities to play, learn and create.

Community foundations take tax receipted gifts, and pool the funds to create a permanent legacy, by which the original principal of the gifts remain intact, and the investment income earned on the principal is donated to charities meeting the needs of the community.

The Airdrie & District Community Foundation was established as a community foundation on September 1st, 2012. We are growing and creating a path to increasing our Legacy Fund for future generations.

The Airdrie & District Community Foundation (ADCF) Is managed by a board of directors, all leaders from within our community.
