Additional Grants


Thomas Sill Manitoba Fund Grants


These grants were made possible by the Thomas Sill Manitoba Fund, which provided granting dollars to Carberry and Area Community Foundation for use in 2025.

The Thomas Sill Foundation was established in 1987 by the last will of Thomas Sill, a Manitoba resident and chartered accountant with offices across the province. For decades, the Thomas Sill Foundation supported charitable activities in Manitoba, awarding grants to many communities with the vision that these communities would continue to grow and prosper.


At the end of 2023, the Thomas Sill Foundation wound down operations but wanted to ensure its longstanding legacy of supporting Manitoba continued. With some of the remaining resources, the Thomas Sill Manitoba Fund was established at The Winnipeg Foundation to benefit Endow Manitoba community foundation member communities.
