Building Smart and Caring Communities
Building Smart and Caring Communities
Our Financial Model: A Strong Foundation
The South Saskatchewan Community Foundation’s Smart & Caring Communities campaign operates within our existing overarching fund structure: an invested endowment fund that ensures long term growth, where the capital is never touched, but a portion of the investment income is disbursed into the community through Smart & Caring Community Fund grants every year.
Imagine Our Community As It Could Be
The Smart & Caring Communities Movement is more than a series of initiatives, more than an expansion of current successes. It means basing priorities in evidence and investing in solutions that are long-term and sustainable. It represents a shift in culture — a transformation that is already starting to take root here.
A strong and growing Smart & Caring Community Fund at SSCF enables us to be strong community leaders to partner, collaborate and help support solutions to immediate and emerging community needs and issues — a role that community foundations continue to succeed in!
Investing with us in this endeavor takes hearts and minds of people like you who care deeply about community. It takes people like you, who understand this passion and can imagine the possibilities when we all work together to achieve our shared dreams.
Saskatchewan Abilities Council
The 2014 Smart & Caring Communities Grant recipient was the Saskatchewan Abilities Council. Funds received will be used to construct a Snoezelen Room which is a specially built space used for individuals with cognitive, physical and sensory disabilities. The Snozelen Room is therapeutic and aims to maximize a person’s potential to focus on his or her own free will and to engage on a motivational stimulus (object, activity or person), and thereby to improve communication and functioning.
