We achieve these goals, first and foremost, by publishing The Walrus, the most awarded magazine in Canada, named Magazine of the Year at the National Magazine Awards in June 2007. The Walrus is a monthly publication of ideas, sophistication, and wit, a place where readers, writers, and artists meet. It is supported by TheWalrus.ca, which offers both archives and original content, and by WalrusTV, which features exclusive documentaries inspired by stories from the magazine. In addition, the Walrus Foundation runs an intensive editorial, art, publishing, and foundation internship program for aspiring editors, writers, designers, and digital media, publishing, events, and non-profit development professionals. Through national events, the Walrus Foundation is committed to the public square, to celebrating Canadian talent, and to increasing participation in our democracy through spirited and intelligent debate—by lifting the magazine off the page and onto the stage in public forums.

Everett Koeller founded the Charitable Foundation of the Family in 1989 as an avenue to perform grass roots work in our community. His objective remains today as we strive to maximize donors’ contributions to helping those in need of our help. Over the years the Charitable Foundation of the Family has been able to focus its charitable giving to helping those that were not being helped by other community resources. The foundation is committed to maintaining flexible funding criteria to fill the gaps left by other welfare organizations that have understandably more specific program criteria. Our objective is to assist based on a real need and not on on specific criteria. Our supporters are made up of family, friends, business associates and those that believe in the work we are doing.
