At the heart of the Calgary Stampede Foundation is a commitment to develop a strong youth and a stronger community, by creating programs and places for youth to thrive.

Each year, over 2,000 young people from southern Alberta participate in first-class programming to develop their talents, character and leadership capabilities. From the high-quality performance talents of the Calgary Stampede Showband to the one-of-a-kind educational experience of the Stampede School educational program, we continue to provide young people with experiences that will build life skills, positively shape their values and give them a genuine sense of community spirit.

• Agriculture: 4-H on Parade and 4-H Rodeo
• Education: OH Ranch Education, Stampede School, Indigenous Youth Program, and Stampede Summer Camp
• Performing Arts: Calgary Stampede Showband, Calgary Stampede Showriders, and The Young Canadians School of Performing Arts
• Scholarships: Youth Poster Art, performance, agriculture, and western art

We have created a unique campus with unparalleled learning experiences for year-round visitors and learners are inspired by Stampede's stories and spirit. Stampede Campus serves as a vital community hub for the public to engage in arts, heritage, and education, with a wide variety of programs for people of all ages across 10 acres of indoor and outdoor spaces.

Currently we are seeking inspired donors to support the Calgary Foundation's core programming.

Donors receive the maximum tax benefit based on current CRA rules and regulations, and donations are managed in perpetuity.
