Designated Funds

A Designated Fund gives lasting meaning to your giving and carries your name in perpetuity. You choose the organization. We continue to support it.

The annual income earned from investing the capital of each Designated Fund is disbursed in accordance with the instructions of those establishing such a fund to the designated beneficiary of the fund.  These can include a particular organization or institution, a specific cause, project or area of interest. A Designated Fund provides an opportunity for an individual, family, organization or institution to make a lasting contribution to the community and carry its name into perpetuity.

Below is a list of the Designated Funds within the Shevchenko Foundation that support specific causes which align with our mission to strengthen the community and promote Ukrainian cultural heritage in Canada.
