Our Foundation
Where we came from
Where we came from
The Burton Charitable Foundation, started in 1960, is a family charitable organization whose members are the descendants of Charles Luther Burton. Our engagement in Canadian community charities is a family tradition that continues to this day, five generations later.

Where we came from
Charles Luther Burton (1876 - 1961) called it “a sense of urgency.” We have come to know it as a clear set of principles that guide our conduct in life. These include a sense of purpose, a strong moral compass, and a profound regard for community represented by philanthropy and good works. In the five generations since C.L., our family has continued to incorporate these principles into our day-to-day lives.
