CRABTREE FOUNDATION
The Crabtree Foundation's endowment was created by Capital Contributions from family members, beginning with Harold Crabtree's initial contribution and including contributions by those family members currently managing the Foundation.
The endowment income is used to make grants to a variety of Registered Canadian Charities, in accordance with established criteria.
The Crabtree Foundation does not solicit nor accept donations by non-family members.
We are a private family foundation that funds charitable organizations in the Ottawa and Southern New Brunswick regions.

"During my lifetime it has been my great privilege to have been able to provide through the Harold Crabtree Foundation a contribution to the needs of worthy causes, which I leave in your hands to direct by allocating annually such amounts as you may desire to each. I can but express the hope that as the years go on the Foundations' revenue may grow and become a more powerful instrument for good" -Harold Crabtree, in a letter he wrote to his wife Louisa, and children Roy and Dorothy, shortly before his death on February 18, 1956.
