The Owen Hart Foundation is a dynamic organization and a permanent legacy that was founded in December 2000 at The Calgary Foundation in memory of Owen Hart for his outstanding contribution to philanthropy.
Our Mandate is Education. Our Mission is to aid hard-working people who have limited resources and unlimited potential for generations to come.
Our Key Programs:
The Owen Hart Foundation Housing Program
Provides low-income families including single parents who live at or below the poverty line with up to 4:1 matching funds to make a down payment to purchase a home. The 2-year education program focused on financial literacy, savings and home ownership is a prerequisite for matching funds. This program is a collaborative initiative with Momentum and has proven long-term positive results for participant families. To date, over 130 families are enjoying pride of home ownership and stability of putting roots down in Calgary communities.
The Owen Hart Foundation Scholarship Fund
Provides post-secondary scholarships and bursaries for students from low income families attending Calgary Board of Education schools. Recipients need to obtain a minimum average of 70, and demonstrate superb effort, attitude and great leadership throughout the year. In 2018, ten scholarships were awarded to students who otherwise may not have been able to consider post-secondary education.
The Owen Hart Foundation Partnership Fund
Provides capacity building program funds to community non-profits that share the goals and values of the Owen Hart Foundation. Of note is The Love of Children Society which provides aid to disadvantaged children locally and internationally.
In Late Fall 2019, the Owen Hart Foundation will celebrate its 20th anniversary with its annual fundraising concert at the Jubilee Auditorium in Calgary. The Owen Hart Foundation has raised more than $3 million dollars for the Calgary community.
