Historic Cobalt Legacy Fund
The Temiskaming Foundation New Liskeard, ON, Canada

The Historic Cobalt Legacy Fund will be contributing in excess of $51,000 in grants this year. The unrestricted fund is now yielding revenues that allow us to broaden the scope of activities that the fund can support. The Legacy Fund was launched in 2014 with a generous donation of $ 1, 000,000 from Agnico Eagle Mining. The donations are managed by through The Temiskaming Foundation and the interest earned is distributed to a variety of organisations or causes in the community.

As tax time is closing in on us, and we are looking for ways to get value from our hard fought earnings rather than have them slip to that abyss in Ottawa..keep your contributions local. Contact The Temiskaming Foundation and find out more about the number of ways you can contribute to the community. The Cobalt Historic Legacy Fund is one of many funds managed through The Temiskaming Foundation which can assist in ensuring the sustainability of our cherished arts, cultural a...nd historical assets, as well as contribute to a host of projects which improve the quality of life in our communities. A number of imdividuals have committed to the $1000 by 1000 people challenge, $100 a year for 10 years is a $1000. A donation of $10,000 will enable the donor to direct the earned return on investment to a specific project or beneficiary...the library, any of the museum, the theatre, the cemetaries, specific activities, a scholarship program...the possibilities are endless.
