Established in 1937 by John Wilson McConnell (1877-1963), The J.W. McConnell Foundation grew out of Mr. McConnell’s deep commitment to the public good and his lifelong involvement with charitable work in Canada.
The J.W. McConnell Family Foundation engages Canadians in building a more innovative, inclusive, sustainable, and resilient society.
The Foundation’s purpose is to bolster Canada’s ability to address complex social, environmental and economic challenges. We accomplish this by developing, testing and applying innovative approaches and solutions; by strengthening the community sector; and by collaborating with partners in the community, private and public sectors. We recognize that creating enduring change takes time, and involves more than granting. In our areas of focus, we also carry out leadership development, support knowledge creation and dissemination, and more recently, make program-related investments.
