"As representative of Her Majesty the Queen in the Province of Ontario, I support the objectives of community foundations in Ontario. Much of the strength and vitality of our communities in Ontario is based upon the commitment of individuals. It is encouraging to see a willingness on the part of citizens to share some of their resources and reinvest in their communities. Such caring and generosity can leave a lasting legacy fo future generations."

Lieutenant Governor of Ontario

THE TEMISKAMING FOUNDATION provides an opportunity for people and organizations to invest in the future of the Temiskaming and area community; it provides an opportunity to help the community help itself to be a better place to live.

GIFTS made to The Temiskaming Foundation are invested in perpetuity, and the interest earned on the money is made available to promote the betterment of the community, by the way of donations to charitable organizations in the community.

THE TEMISKAMING FOUNDATION is an incorporated charitable public foundation, registered with Revenue Canada to give charitable receipts.

The objects of The Temiskaming Foundation are:

• to support social services

• to support and advance other community activites of a charitable nature

THE TEMISKAMING FOUNDATION is a non profit organization administered by a board of twelve local directors.

Each director serves voluntarily and free of charge. In fact each director is required to make a donation each year to the Foundation.

Gifts can be made:

• in cash
• in property or assets
• by bequests in wills
• by life insurance

In each case gifts are tax deductible, and will be invested with other money of the The Temiskaming Foundation and the income used to benefit the community.

Gifts may be:

• unrestricted, to be used as the directors feel best for the community. This is the most flexible type of gift, able to meet changing needs in the future
• donor advised, where the donor can recommend during his or her lifetime how the gift is to be used
• designated, so the interest can only be used to assist a specific charitable organizatoin or purpose.
• memorial gifts, made in memory of a person or family
• administrative funds, to offset the operating costs of The Temiskaming Foundation

The donor chooses which fund his or her gift will belong to.
