Who are we?

The Butler Family Foundation, an Edmonton based charity, was established in 2007 by William K. Butler and family. The Foundation's board is composed of five voting family members and is co-ordinated by Shannon Butler.

We give to CRA registered Edmonton based charities that reflect our values as a family.

What are our values?

  • We value family and community
  • We value sport and recreation
  • We value education and the life-long pursuit of knowledge
  • We value personal development and creativity

 

We believe that:

  • The nurturance of individuals and families fosters the growth of healthy communities
  • Supporting children and families is most important
  • Economic freedom and knowledge contributes to family wellness
  • Edmonton's future is dependent upon the mental, physical and social health of its children today
"Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create that fact."

William James

"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education alone will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent."

Calvin Coolidge
