Through these groups, the Jackman Foundation endeavours to preserve the values and traditions of Canadian culture while responding to both the new and the ever-present requirements of its citizens.

As the foundation’s capital assets have grown, so have the number and size of its gifts. Since 1964 the Jackman Foundation has made grants with a value in excess of $64 million dollars to a wide variety of charitable causes.

The Jackman Foundation is a private foundation, chaired since 1983 by Dr. Frederic (Eric) Jackman, Harry Jackman’s son.
