Every year, investment income from The Tomorrow Fund is invested into our community to fund new and innovative projects that address emerging social issues.

Named Funds created with a gift of $5,000 or more and can be established as lump sum or accumulated over a number of years.

The creation of The PricewaterhouseCoopers Fund continues this company's great legacy and will stand as a permanent reminder of their success and accomplishments.

The Tomorrow Fund's capital value now stands at $7.2 million.
