Fig Tree Foundation

Our Story

The Fig Tree Foundation was established in 2005 by a group of concerned Calgarians that had a desire to contribute to international development initiatives, but soon discovered that in addition to a lack of funding to established groups, there existed a lack of co-ordination and collaboration amongst groups, leading to duplication of efforts and less than optimal utilization of existing resources.


In 2006, the Fig Tree Foundation obtained its status as a charitable foundation and has since then, thanks to countless hours of volunteer support, built an organization that has been focused on improving the quality of international development initiatives that come out of the Calgary community while supporting a network of organizations that deliver them.
