The Eureka Foundation is a federally-registered charitable foundation that acts to mobilize the knowledge-based communities in which we work to consolidate funding for altruistic reasons. Support is primarily targeted to worthy but less established beneficiaries with a knowledge or culture-based mandate to deliver tangible programs within a five-year horizon to pursue innovation in science and the arts. By succeeding in this endeavour, the Foundation and its partners can take pride in accelerating the efforts of hidden gems where such support will provide a meaningful difference in their work, and contribute to making the lives better for those in Canada and across borders to whom the value of that work is intended.
