We would like to let you know about our 'Pay-it-Forward Fundraising Appeal' that the Foundation is undertaking. The CIFI was established over 60 years ago to fulfill the need for a funding charity to support non-profit cultural and scholarship activities in the Icelandic Canadian community. Currently, CIFI funds several scholarships and provides grants to Canadian Snorri Program participants and Icelandic cultural events.
The goal of our fundraising campaign is to increase the Foundation’s financial capacity to do more to encourage our next generation of leaders to engage with their Icelandic Canadian community, and expand our ability to support worthwhile Icelandic Canadian cultural projects and initiatives across Canada.
