The Stampeders Foundation is the charitable arm of the Calgary Stampeders Football Club, which is dedicated to creating a healthier and brighter community for Calgarians and Albertans. Established in 2013, the Foundation consolidates and strengthens the club’s many charitable endeavours, enabling the organization to build upon its long-standing commitment to the community.

The Stampeders Foundation is centered upon the support of amateur and grassroots football in Calgary and southern Alberta communities, while also supporting a number of health and education initiatives through player involvement and in-game programming.

In its short lifetime, the Foundation has donated over $4 million to football projects, which has been used to purchase equipment, provide post-secondary scholarships, and pay registration fees for youth. This also includes a $600,000 commitment to the Shouldice Athletic Fields Seasonal Shelter.

The goal of the Stampeders Foundation is to the support of amateur and grassroots football in Calgary and Southern Alberta communities.
