Laidlaw Foundation General Information

Description

Laidlaw Foundation is an independent non-profit foundation based at Toronto, Canada. Robert A. Laidlaw established the Laidlaw Foundation in 1949 with an endowment of $50,000 to benefit charitable, educational, conservation and cultural organizations in Ontario. In its early years, the foundation's income was disbursed primarily to institutions of national stature in the areas of health, education, culture and the arts, and to institutions in which the founders and directors had a long-standing interest. The foundation renewed its commitment in the recent years and continues to strive towards affecting change in systems and institutions that affect the lives of young people. The board of directors is responsible for the administration of the foundation.
