Why?
The Burton Charitable Foundation has always been a family-based foundation dedicated to the idea that philanthropy is a good thing. The Burton family has a strong tradition of giving byword, deed and donation to worthy causes.
A foundation has investments that generate income to support charities its members wish to support And a charitable foundation uses its income to support charities its members wish to support. Whether you live in Toronto, Cape Breton, or Frankfurt, if you’re a Burton family member, you can participate in and keep up with your extended family’s philanthropic activities through the website and our periodic communications. One of our goals is to reach out to the next generation of Burton Family members. We want our kids and grandchildren to know where they came from.
