Our Mission:
Max Bell Foundation
reflects the spirit and intent of its founder
to improve Canadian society.
We encourage the development of innovative ideas
that impact public policies and practices
with an emphasis on health and wellness, education,
and the environment.
Since
its creation in 1972 by the late Mr. George Maxwell Bell, Max Bell
Foundation has made grants across Canada for a wide range of charitable
purposes which benefit all Canadians.
In
creating the Foundation, Max Bell charged the Board of Directors
with managing the funds wisely, setting the Foundation's mission,
and determining the fields in which grants would be made. These
fields have changed over the years, and have included: media and
journalism, physical fitness, sports, oceans and inland waters,
health and health care, the relationships of Canada and Canadians
with countries of the Asia Pacific region, veterinary science, and
education.
While the particular fields of interest have evolved over the years,
the primary purpose of Max Bell Foundation has remained the same.
In contributing to Canadians and their communities, the Foundation
has always sought to support innovative endeavours which encourage
the development of human potential in pursuit of social, educational,
and economic goals.
Since its inception, Max Bell Foundation has had the privilege
of funding hundreds of projects and initiatives across Canada totalling
more than $65 million.
