Mission Statement
Nickle Family Foundation helps small local organizations with modest grants which address an issue directly affecting client service. We fund broadly across the sectors of social services, education, health, etc. Our focus shifts as our perception of need within the community changes.
About This Cause
Nickle Family Foundation is registered with CRA as a private foundation. Created in 1962, it was endowed by two of the pioneers of the Canadian oil industry, Sam Nickle Sr. and his son Carl Nickle. It serves as a vehicle for the extended Nickle family to give back to the community that sustained and rewarded our elders. The Nickle Family Foundation funds non-profit organizations that demonstrate their excellence at serving the community’s needs. Because our support isn’t limited to organizations in any single sector, we are constantly assessing the current needs of the Calgary community and adjusting our priorities. As we receive applications from organizations in need of funding, we carefully examine whether they match our current priorities. Our present funding focus can be broadly categorized as follows: Youth Enrichment: Programs that provide young people with positive direction. Health and Wellness: Small-scale programs outside of a hospital setting, including end-of-life care. Family and Community Wellness: Preventative programs; family healing; initiatives that nurture creativity. Animal Welfare: A focus on small organizations.
