About Us

Fostering a culture of charity, morality and equality for all Albertans, The Ed Stelmach Community Foundation was founded by Former Premier Ed Stelmach & Marie Stelmach in 2007. The Foundation’s operations are administered by a volunteer Board of Directors comprised of individuals living across Alberta.

OUR TEAM

The Ed Stelmach Community Foundation is dedicated to assisting Alberta charities throughout Alberta, with a keen eye upon those organizations that may not receive the attention that they deserve and require. True philanthropy requires social capital as well as financial resources, and the Foundation works with selected charities to raise funds, while utilizing the combined expertise and networks of our highly committed Board of Directors. We look forward to forming new relationships and helping to keep charity a priority in Alberta.
