As part of its charitable activities, the Victoria Foundation manages endowment funds for registered charities. These funds fulfill the crucial role of assisting charitable organizations to accumulate endowments that can then generate operating funds and provide a sense of continuity and security. Donors are assured that their gifts will be held in perpetuity, while the annual distributions provide on-going support to the charities.
