The Winnifred Stewart Foundation is responsible for all fund raising activities to support the programs and services of the Winnifred Stewart Association.  Since 1972, the Foundation has undertaken annual and ongoing campaigns to raise funds for equipment, program expansion and budget shortfalls.

Although the Winnifred Stewart Association receives funding from the Persons with Developmental Disabilities Board- Edmonton Region, a significant portion of its annual budget must be derived from other sources to maintain its programs and services.  Through fund raising in the community, the Association has been able to expand its residential services, add new programs and provide services to a larger client base.

A variety of methods are used to raise funds:

• phone sales of garbage bags, Christmas wrap
• beverage container recycling program
• annual direct mail campaign
• special events
• cooperative efforts with community groups
• Planned Giving
  

Unless directed by the donor, all funds are allocated to the areas of most need.  This includes annual operating costs, special equipment purchases and funding of new residential projects.  Donor-directed funds and donations are distributed according to the donor's wishes. Gifts made in memory of an individual can be directed by the family of the deceased to the areas of most need or to a specific project.

Charitable tax receipts are issued for all charitable donations.
