Important Notice: Scam Alert Involving Calgary Foundation Name and Logo
We have recently been informed of a scam targeting individuals in Canada and the United States, falsely claiming to represent the Calgary Foundation. These scammers are using our name, logo, and fabricated contact details to offer fake grants in exchange for personal information and money.
Please be advised:
- The Calgary Foundation never requests payment in exchange for grants or funding.
- We do not contact individuals via WhatsApp or other messaging platforms to offer unsolicited grants.
- Any legitimate communication from our organization will come from an official Calgary Foundation email address or phone number.
If you have received such a message:
- Do not respond or send money.
- Do not share personal information.
- Report the incident to your local authorities and to the platform where the scam occurred (e.g., WhatsApp, GoFundMe).
- You can also contact us directly at 403-802-7700 to verify any communication.
We are deeply concerned about the emotional and financial impact these scams may have and are working to raise awareness and protect our community.
