About Us
For more than 2 decades The Westshore Community Foundation, Inc. has been a vehicle for the betterment of the community.
Our History
Incorporated in 1998, The Westshore Community Foundation Inc., was developed through the old Johnson Memorial Hospital District when it was replaced by the new Interlake Regional Health Authority. The formation of a community foundation was considered a good vehicle by which funds could be used to benefit the surrounding communities.
The Board of volunteers has continued to strive to build permanent endowments and other funds to support community projects. The Foundation is proud of the growth since incorporation and has reached assets in excess of $5,000,000. This has allowed the foundation to invest in our catchment area and help grow a lasting legacy for all.
It is the mission of The Westshore Community Foundation to continue to grow in order to offer even greater support to the ongoing needs of groups and individual dedicated to the betterment of the communities of Riverton, Gimli, Fraserwood, Winnipeg Beach, and Dunnottar. We believe philanthropy is alive and well in our areas and your contribution to the Westshore Foundation will provide a lasting legacy.
