Together we can
do big things.
Because of ECF,
we’re not walking this
path alone. We’re
building an inclusive
Edmonton together —
one where everyone
has the opportunity
to belong.
Laurel McCalla,
Director of Development,
Boyle Street Community Services
We are proud to be a trusted partner
for empowering charities, businesses,
and the broader community to create
lasting solutions.
In 2024, Boyle Street Community
Services and EPCOR established an
endowment fund with ECF to support
the long-term maintenance of the
new King Thunderbird Centre in
downtown Edmonton.
ECF contributed an initial $100,000
in matching funds and EPCOR
further amplified community impact
by committing $375,000 through
its Heart + Soul program, matching
donations from the public to the
endowment campaign. All together,
the fund now sits at more than
$960,000.
Our collaboration ensures that
vulnerable Edmontonians receive
critical services with dignity when
they need it most. This includes
access to social workers, occupational
therapists, nurses and 38 units of
affordable housing on site.
