Ukrainian heritage, carried forward

Every stitch of culture is passed on by hand.

The U.N.F. Foundation funds the camps, ensembles, language schools and scholarships that keep Ukrainian Canadian community life alive for the next generation.

Our mission

A foundation for the people who keep the tradition.

The U.N.F. Foundation is a registered Canadian charity supporting the cultural, educational and charitable work of the Ukrainian National Federation of Canada. Through careful stewardship of gifts and endowments, we provide steady, long-term funding so programs can plan for decades — not just seasons.

Culture
Music, dance, art and tradition shared openly with Ukrainian Canadians and neighbours of every background.
Education
Language instruction, heritage learning and scholarships that open doors for students.
Community
Charitable support for the branches, halls and volunteers that hold community life together.
