Generosity, invested wisely. Finances

When you create an endowment fund at ECF, your gift is invested thoughtfully for the long term — growing in a way that keeps giving back to the causes and communities you care about, year after year.

Every fund is managed with the care and expertise your generosity deserves. Since 1989, that commitment has helped direct more than $484 million to charitable initiatives across Edmonton, connecting donors’ passions with the community’s greatest needs.

For the year ending December 31, 2025:

  • Total distributions to charitable causes: $44.7 million
  • Assets under management: $1 billion
  • Received in contributions in 2025: $122.2 million
  • New funds created in 2025: 105
  • Total number of funds: 1,856
  • Return on pooled investments: 9.65% net of investment expenses
  • Annualized return since 1989: 8.2% gross of fees

We believe in full transparency with our donors and the community we serve. Our consolidated financial statements offer a detailed look at how ECF manages and grows the funds entrusted to us.
