The Thomas Sill Foundation was founded in 1987 through the last will of Thomas Sill, a chartered accountant from Manitoba. The Foundation provided support for charitable initiatives throughout Manitoba for over 35 years. At the end of 2023, the Foundation ceased operations, but the board of directors wanted to continue supporting Manitoba. The assets of the foundation were transferred to the Winnipeg Foundation to create funds that would carry on Thomas Sill’s legacy of giving. The Thomas Sill Manitoba Fund at The Winnipeg Foundation was established to benefit communities within Endow Manitoba. The Pinawa Foundation receives a grant every year to carry on Thomas Sill’s good work.
The Pinawa Foundation awards our Thomas Sill Grant, valued at $25,000, every spring. If your group would like to apply for this grant, please contact us at pinawafoundation@gmail.com to obtain an application form. The deadline for applications is April 30 each year.
