Supporting an active, vibrant and happy community
Established in 2013, the Wim & Nancy Pauw Foundation is a private foundation in Banff, Alberta, Canada. Funded by the profits of Banff Caribou Properties, Ltd and Banff Lodging Company, the goal of the Foundation is to reinvest in Banff, supporting projects that contribute to a more active, vibrant and happy community.
