"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now."
Why a Legacy
Endowment Fund?
The Ottawa Sooners Foundation believes that sustainable community impact requires long-term thinking.
The Legacy Endowment Fund is designed to create a permanent source of funding that supports athlete development, education, leadership programming, community initiatives, and the future growth of the Ottawa Sooners Football Club and Foundation.
Through responsible investment management and governance, contributions continue creating impact year after year while preserving the long-term strength of the Fund.
Permanent Impact
Unlike one-time donations, an endowment fund generates ongoing returns — meaning your gift continues to fund programs, athletes, and community initiatives every year, in perpetuity.
