Strengthening Community Through Participation in the Arts.

The wildfires on the Carmel Mountain have been extinguished but the emergency continues! The Carmel is devastated and vulnerable to additional fires. The fires took 42 lives, destroyed hundreds of homes, consumed over 5 million trees and destroyed 25,000 acres of forest. The people of Haifa and the Carmel need your help. We must stand and help the families who have been evacuated and who lost their homes, we must rehabilitate the Carmel forest and we must strengthen the fire truck brigade with uniforms, equipment and replenish inventories of fire retardent chemicals to start. Any donation is appreciated. For more information and updates go to www.haifa-foundation.org or contact our email us at lisaplant.haifafoundation@gmail.com

While we do have our own PEC Fund and accept donations to this Fund, we currently manage 10 other funds, funds established by your neighbours and local County organizations. When you select "DONATE NOW" the funds are listed under the Fund/Designation option, with our PEC Fund listed first. You can donate to any of the 10 funds as well as the PEC Fund by selecting the fund of your choosing here. A Community Foundation can also manage endowment funds which are set up by individuals or families who want to leave a legacy to the community. Again, these endowment funds are directed to the specific charities of the endowers choosing. Contact us directly for more details on this option.

The Aninga Project is a person-to-person based educational initiative that is currently funding the education of 7 girls in Uganda - 5 based on Canadian funding and 2 based on Ugandan funding. Any money that you donate to our organization goes towards the education and related expenses of the girls who we support. This money covers everything from their school fees to pencils, books, maize and jerry cans. The Aninga Project's funds are wire transferred directly from the project's bank account to our volunteers in Uganda who ensure that all of the girls' needs are taken care of. It only costs $35/month to cover all expenses for a girl going to school in Uganda, so every donation goes a long way.
