LEGACY GIFTS
FINANCIAL ENDOWMENTS: A LEGACY OF IMPACT
Minimum Endowment: $25,000 + HST
A financial endowment is a transformative way to make a lasting contribution to the Canadian Hospitality Foundation (CHF) and its mission of empowering future leaders in foodservice and hospitality. By establishing an endowment, donors provide long-term support that ensures CHF can continue funding scholarships, professional development opportunities, and programs that will help elevate the industry for years to come.
Endowments are structured to preserve the principal donation, with the generated investment income—or a portion of the principal—allocated annually to support CHF’s initiatives. This approach allows your contribution to have a sustained impact, creating a legacy of support that will benefit countless students and strengthen Canada’s hospitality sector far into the future.
