With a vision to improve the quality of life for those living with autism, the Sinneave Family Foundation was created in 2008 as a result of a generous gift from Albertans Jim and Marion Sinneave, and serves today as a hub of expertise in autism interventions, education and research. The Foundation brings together families dealing with the day-to-day reality of autism and internationally recognized autism scholars, professionals and various levels of government, with a goal of increasing access to a more consistent and improved standard of care for people of all ages living with autism. Considered rare only a decade ago, autism now affects one in every 150 babies born in Canada and is growing at a greater rate than any other developmental disability. Together with its partners, the Sinneave Family Foundation is committed to making progress on these issues and others, and to meeting its goal of improving the quality of life for those living with autism.

The American Chestnut Foundation has one simple goal: to restore the American chestnut to its native forests. Destroyed by an imported blight many consider the worst environmental disaster of the twentieth century, the American chestnut was virtually eliminated from the eastern hardwood forest between 1904 and 1940. With its loss, wildlife populations plummeted; never to return to former levels. With recent developments in genetics, there is promise that this critically important wildlife food source and timber tree will again become part of our natural heritage. To make this possibility a reality, a group of prominent scientists, in 1983, established the non-profit research-oriented American Chestnut Foundation (TACF). The Foundation's mission is simple: to restore the American chestnut as an integral part of the eastern forest ecosystem. TACF is employing traditional plant breeding techniques, backed by advanced research methods, to develop a blight resistant American chestnut tree. TACF is restoring a species - and in the process, creating a template for restoration of other tree and plant species.
