The George W. Wilson & Teresa Madelyn (Merriam) Wilson Foundation was created in 2004 to enhance the lives of people living in communities across Atlantic Canada. The Foundation invests in effective organizations and groups striving to build sustainable capacity in their communities.

To  receive a grant for your project you need to be a registered charity. Each considered donation must be for the benefit of an organization in Atlantic Canada and must be for the purpose of community improvement. The Foundation invests in capital campaigns that result in permanent community assets. Requests for loans, debt retirement, or operational deficits are not considered.
