NOTE: For gifts over $1000 please contact us directly at www.aqueductfoundation.ca Aqueduct Foundation is guided by three core principles: 1. Facilitating personal philanthropy. Personal philanthropy is grounded in the vision, values and deeply-held beliefs of individual donors. Aqueduct is cause neutral and operates personal foundations, or donor advised funds. Your foundation supports the charities you identify. 2. Smart planning. Aqueduct specializes in exceptional gifts – those rare gifts from assets that require financial and estate planning. We have unrivalled experience with customized, tax-wise plans, and gifts of complex assets. These are not everyday donations. 3. Philanthropic flexibility. Aqueduct is a bridge to other charities. At Aqueduct, you decide what cause or charity to support, how much they will receive, and when the grant is made. We provide flexibility in giving and structuring legacies backed by a deep knowledge of charities.

La Soleillerie is a non-profit organization that has been active in the community since 1968. Its educational program is based on play, a method, which allows children to develop their creativity and encourages them to express themselves. Through these experiences, children learn perseverance and the joys of working together with others; they discover a sense of pride in succeeding, which enhances self-esteem. Each of the many play areas provides children with the opportunity to explore, question, share, solve, try, try again, fail and succeed... La Soleillerie offers children a wonderful opportunity to develop and grow in a creative environment where parents play an active role. Supporting La Soleillerie is not only a gift to the school, but to children as well, both current and future.
