The River Philip Foundation believes every individual should have the opportunity to develop to their full potential and lead a healthy, productive life. The Foundation aims to improve the quality of life for individuals within select communities by supporting initiatives which help resolve social, economic and civic challenges, and make a tangible difference.<\/p>\n
Established in 2005 by the Bragg Family, the River Philip Foundation provides investment and support to improve the quality of life in rural communities, primarily located in Atlantic Canada.<\/p>\n
Since inception, over $59 million has been donated to support education, at risk youth, performing arts, and community-based facilities.<\/p>\n
The Foundation believes, when and where appropriate, in partnering or collaborating with sector experts as well as other philanthropic foundations and governments to assist with community-based change projects.<\/p>\n
Social and economic challenges are complex, interrelated issues which affect all communities. Addressing these issues requires innovative new ideas, calculated risk taking, and rigorous on-going assessment. The Foundation welcomes new ideas which have the potential to solve community challenges, and is willing to invest in them accordingly.<\/p>\n
The Foundation is not only committed to using its resources effectively and efficiently, but strongly believes in making investments in organizations that have demonstrated resourcefulness (efficiency) and have a strong record of making a difference (effective) within their communities, or can demonstrate that they have the potential to make a difference in the future.<\/p>\n
In all its interactions, the River Philip Foundation treats individuals, organizations, and ideas with the utmost respect.<\/p>\n
As the Foundation and its partners observe what is effective in addressing community and social economic challenges, those learnings will be leveraged to adapt for the future.<\/p>\n
The Foundation wants to ensure that its investments, improve the lives of residents of the communities within which they are invested. As a result, evaluation of outcomes achieved by charities funded is required.<\/p>\n
