Our Mission

The Celia Franca Foundation was established in 1979 to honour Celia Franca’s devotion to quality dance education in Canada. Since its inception, the Celia Franca Foundation, through sponsorships and scholarships, has quietly helped young dancers attend some of Canada’s finest training institutions. The Foundation has also helped independent choreographers, researchers, and young teachers-in-training attain their goals. The Celia Franca Foundation is a registered, Canadian charity. All gifts are tax deductible. If you would like more information about the work of the Foundation, please do not hesitate to contact the Celia Franca Foundation, 1411A Carling Avenue, Suite #212, Ottawa, Ontario K1Z 1A7 or visit www.celiafrancafoundation.com
