The ManCap Foundation is a non-profit, federally registered charity founded in 1996 by the ManCap Group of companies. The foundation has raised over $1,000,000 to foster entrepreneurship and leadership in Alberta's youth.
The Foundation has built an endowment at the Edmonton Community Foundation worth $1,012,239 that today awards eight scholarships worth $5,000 each to Alberta high school students entering their first year of post-secondary studies. High marks are not a requirement and financial need is a criterion. Since 1997 we have awarded 168 grants worth $536,500, and because our endowment is fully funded and growing, we will continue to award $40,000 in scholarships each year in perpetuity.
The foundation also supports success experience programs in our community through organizations like Junior Achievement, Scouts Canada, the YMCA and Norquest College.
