Our Endowment Funds

An endowment fund is a long-term gift that provides ongoing support for Pro Coro Canada, year after year.

Gifts to our endowment funds are held and invested through the Edmonton Community Foundation (ECF), a trusted charitable foundation that manages long-term funds for community organizations. Each year, a portion of the fund’s investment earnings is granted to Pro Coro Canada to support our work. Your original gift remains invested so it can continue to grow over time. Unlike a one-time donation that is used immediately, an endowment gift creates lasting impact—supporting Pro Coro not just today, but for generations to come.

Pro Coro Canada currently has three endowment funds, each with a different purpose. You can learn more about each fund below.

The Pro Coro Canada

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.
