GENERAL INFORMATION

The Nickel District Conservation Foundation is a Public Foundation. The Conservation Foundation is regulated by the Government of Canada through the Income Tax Act and by the Province of Ontario through the Corporations Act. The Foundation is chartered through Letters Patent. The Foundation was incorporated in September, 1984.

The NDCF was formed in 1984 based on two fundamental principles:

1. To provide a non-government vehicle through which groups, businesses, individuals and corporations could support the advancement of conservation and resource management.
2. To provide funding, based on the capabilities of the NDCF, to the Nickel District Conservation Authority for the programs and activities under funded or not funded at all by the provincial/municipal partners. Specific reference was made to environmental education and conservation-recreation.

The Conservation Foundation raises funds in a variety of ways:

1. sponsorship of specific public events,
2. annual general donation appeal to individuals/businesses/groups, etc.,
3. direct fundraising (i.e. sale of Nevada tickets, foodstuff sales, art raffles)
4. sponsorship of summer recreation day camp
5. collection of user fees from program services, and
6. fundraising for special capital projects.
