BILD Edmonton Metro Trade Scholarship Endowment Fund

This fund builds on the ERHC Trade Scholarship Fund, established by CHBA – Edmonton Region and championed by the late Larry Anderson and Burke Perry. Their commitment to workforce development lives on through this initiative. 

Governance

The endowment is guided by a Patron’s Advisory Group that includes founder Burke Perry, along with Stephen Anderson and Wesley Gunderson as founder representatives, and Courtney Jensen and Lana Read representing BILD Edmonton Metro. 

How the Fund is Supported

The fund is sustained through proceeds from BILD Edmonton Metro’s annual golf tournaments, along with contributions from members and the broader community through the Edmonton Community Foundation

Why It Matters
