The Southwest Facility Foundation is a non-profit entity, made up of volunteers whose mandate is to provide a vessel for local philanthropists and fundraisers to contribute to the construction of new sport, leisure & recreation facilities in the City of Swift Current.

Established in 2022, the foundation was formed on the premise that if the community organized itself independently, in support of future City of Swift Current grant applications, that those applications would be more successful.

Thus, the Southwest Facility Foundation was established with the goal of raising $8 million dollars to contribute to the City of Swift Current once recreation facility projects are approved, funded, and shovel-ready.

Donate to the Southwest Facility Foundation to support the construction of new recreational facilities in Swift Current. Showing support as a community and raising funds to contribute to capital projects, greatly helps efforts to receive federal and provincial grants. Once a project receives the required grants and is approved, the Foundation will donate funds to the project, as approved by the Board of Directors.

The funds raised will make a difference in helping Southwest Facility Foundation ensure recreational facilities meet the needs of the residents of Swift Current and the Southwest Saskatchewan region.

The Foundation and the City of Swift Current share the same goals with regard to recreation facilities and are working together to try and make these projects a reality.

Giving is a personal decision and each person who gives has their own answer to that question. We have the privilege of living and working in Swift Current.

In addition to our contributions through taxation, we also can do something extra to show that we are invested in our community. A gift to the Foundation, no matter the size, is just another way to show your support for our community projects.

The Foundation has been established for the long term support of new recreational facilities being constructed in Swift Current. Money donated will stay in the Foundation and continue to grow in guaranteed money management accounts until a project is approved.

The Foundation doesn’t decide what projects the City of Swift Current chooses to move a head with.

We are a community fundraising group with the goal of making a community capital contribution to new recreation facility projects in the City.

When you donate to the Foundation you are contributing to an overall fund which the Board of Directors will disperse in whole or in part, once a facility project is funded, approved, and shovel-ready.

The Foundation is 100% volunteer driven therefore the administrative costs would be limited to accounting and legal fees.

We pay $0 merchant fees for online donations. Our platform, Zeffy, allows us to receive 100% of your online donations. You will be asked to donate a percentage to support Zeffy. This is entirely your decision.
