Since 2003 The George W. Wilson and Teresa Madelyn (Merriam) Wilson Foundation has supported community efforts across Atlantic Canada. In 17 years the Foundation has contributed over $800,000.00 towards community efforts performed by charitable organizations in helping their volunteers enrich the communities they care about. These organizations work tirelessly to support people and programs in their respective communities, and The George W. Wilson and Teresa Madelyn (Merriam) Wilson Foundation are proud to partner with them in the Atlantic region.
