Thank You to The Minerva Foundation

dedicated to enriching the community

The Minerva Foundation was established in Edmonton in 1977 by a small group of successful entrepreneurs who shared a desire to contribute positively to their community. At the heart of the Foundation was the memory of Jean Minerva Campbell who passed away suddenly in the prime of her life. As a tribute to her and her personal philosophy of always remembering those families less fortunate than her own, Jean's family and friends formed the Minerva Foundation, an organization dedicated to enriching the community and assisting individuals and families in need.

The Minerva Foundation had a long history of providing financial support to a wide variety of worthy community organizations. Whenever possible, Minerva provided support in the form of "seed" or bridge funding not ordinarily available from other more conventional sources, helping organizations become better established.

Receiving an award on November 12, 2003, the Association of Fundraising Professionals’ Philanthropy Day recognized Minerva as the Foundation of the Year, reaffirming Minerva’s valuable work in the community as they lived their mission “to assist the personal growth of individuals and families by providing financial assistance to Edmonton based charitable organizations.”
