Learn MoreEndowment Fund
The BBO has established an Endowment Fund to help secure future research efforts!
As a non-profit, BBO relies on Grants, Casinos and Donations to continue the work we do. None of which can be counted on from year to year. Our intention, by creating this Endowment Fund with the Edmonton Community Foundation, is to eventually provide lifelong support to our organization.
