Our Endowment Funds
The Pro Coro Canada Endowment Fund
The Pro Coro Canada Endowment Fund ensures the long-term prosperity of the ensemble. This fund directly assists the general operations of the choir on-stage and behind the scenes.
The Maria David Evans Memorial Endowment Fund
In the spirit of educating the leaders of tomorrow, the Maria David Evans Memorial Fund facilitates the educational work of Pro Coro Canada with emerging choral leaders, young singers and the local choral community at-large.
The Russ and Johann Mann Endowment Fund
The Russ and Johann Mann Fund facilitates the creation and commission of new choral works by Canadian and International composers for performances by Pro Coro Canada, and choirs across Canada.
Endowment Funds create a permanent legacy felt over generations. An endowment fund with ECF invests gifts through independent investment managers. Each year, a percentage of this family of funds is granted to Pro Coro Canada, to be invested according to their intended purpose.
Donors work with Edmonton Community Foundation (ECF) to ensure their investments are set up for long-term growth. Endowment funds offer permanent investment of charitable gifts to provide ongoing support to organizations in the Edmonton community.
