REALIZE
AMBITION

A CAMPAIGN FOR CANADIAN POTENTIAL

OUR AMBITIONS DEFINE US.

The Realize Ambition Campaign is singularly focused on activating Canadians.

We are proud to define ourselves as kind, modest. But that’s not the whole picture.

As Canadians, our ambitions define us—who we are and what we do. It is time that we show the world where that will take us.

The Rideau Hall Foundation has spent its first thirteen years preparing for this moment:

  • Visionary leadership has set the direction.
  • National programs have inspired thousands upon thousands of Canadians to get engaged.
  • A network of dynamic partnerships is leveraging the Foundation’s impact right across the country.

 

TODAY, WE ARE CALLING ON ALL CANADIANS TO DREAM BIG, TO TAKE ACTION TO SHAPE THE FUTURE TOGETHER.

THE RIDEAU HALL FOUNDATION IS ON A MISSION:
TO SET CANADA UP FOR SUCCESS BY INVESTING IN LEARNING, INNOVATION, LEADERSHIP AND COMMUNITY BUILDING.

THE LEGACY

“By using trust and empathy as our guideposts, we are creating the conditions where, as Canadians, we can fully realize our shared potential.”

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE DAVID JOHNSTON

THE CAMPAIGN

“We are ambitious for Canada—how we engage with the world, how we connect with one another, and how we define ourselves as Canadians.

Realize Ambition is the Rideau Hall Foundation’s $150 million campaign to accelerate our collective ambition—to connect and empower people, causes, and organizations who share a common belief in, and commitment to, a better Canada for all.

Together we can narrow the gap between what is and what might be.”

J. ROBERT S. PRICHARD

Chair Designate, Rideau Hall Foundation

“Now is the time to commit to excellence and innovation in everything we do for Canadians.

Let’s create a Canada where dreamers, doers and problem-solvers can realize their ambitions for themselves and for the country.”
