About IRCF
When the IRCF was formed, all remaining funds held by the former Arborg & Districts Health Centre Foundation were transferred into it. Additional start-up funds were donated by the Noventis Credit Union Ltd. Incorporated as a Public Foundation, our charitable status permits IRCF to issue tax receipts for donations.
An independent Board of Directors consisting of community leaders manages the affairs of the Icelandic River Community Foundation with the assistance of Community Foundations of Canada and The Winnipeg Foundation.
