"When an agency participates in Fund Development PLUS, it enables the agency to move toward becoming more self-sufficient and efficient in the community thereby decreasing the financial strain on our community on the whole. This program is one of the gems in our sector."

The Fund Development PLUS Program is about improving the capacity and capability of charitable organizations to be self sustaining.  This program creates efficiencies not only within the charitable organizations themselves saving them money and time, but also within the community as a whole. This program enables charities to become more strategic in their thinking, more purposeful in their activities and more deliberate in their actions.  This program demonstrates the value of how mentoring provided by experienced professionals, within a defined curriculum and provided with accepted educational theory can dramatically improve fundraising and resource development initiatives.

The Fund Development PLUS Program depends on the generosity of our Funders. A special thanks to the following:

The Kahanoff Foundation, a private charitable foundation, was established in 1979 by Sydney Kahanoff, a Calgary oil and gas executive and philanthropist. The Foundation was established with a mandate to provide funding for creative and innovative charitable organizations and programs in Israel and Canada with a focus in Calgary. The Kahanoff Foundation selects areas for strategic focus and community investment that reflect opportunities and challenges in these diverse communities.
