Regimental Endownment Fund History

The Endowment Fund was established in 1981 to provide sustainable funding to support the components of The Canadian Scottish Regimental Family and their activities. Since then, the fund has provided thousands of dollars to assist in the purchase of uniforms, accoutrements, and band instruments; maintenance and upkeep of regimental memorials and artifacts; support of youth/cadet and veteran’s recognition programmes; and other support for serving soldiers and veterans. 

All funds donated to the Endowment Fund are deposited in accounts generating interest or dividends, and only the income earned is dispersed. Hence, donations continue to generate income and fund activities in perpetuity. Fund allocation is determined by an independent Allocation Committee governed by strict Terms of Reference, thus ensuring that funds are used appropriately. Volunteers administer and operate the fund, so operational costs are near zero. 

Currently, the fund can provide approximately 40% of the Regimental Family’s annual expenditures. Our vision is to increase the fund to the level where its annual income can meet all Regimental Family funding needs and eliminate the Regimental Family’s reliance on frequent fund-raising campaigns. 

Help us help the components and individuals of the Regimental Family of The Canadian Scottish Regiment (Princess Mary’s). Any gift will make a difference, no matter how large or small.
