Why NAF?
Your Foundation works with the giving and charitable spirit found in the people and communities that call Northwestern Alberta home.
Community Foundations work with donors to connect them to their WHY. Why do they give to the causes that matter to them? Whether it’s a specific cause like animal welfare, youth or seniors, arts and culture, mental health or overall community wellness, your Community Foundation is your partner to give back to community.

Your Foundation knows our region inside and out. We have the pulse on what’s going on in our communities. We work with charitable organizations, post-secondary students and donors to build and support needs across our region.
