The Forever Fund partners with the United Way of Central New Brunswick to help ensure they—including over 30 local charities—have the essential and ongoing funds they need to carry out life-changing work close to home now and in the future.
Never too young to make a difference
Whether you are a recent graduate, a parent of young children or old, an adventure-seeker, a retiree (or all of the above!), we are all creating and living a legacy whether we know it or not. You may call it a bucket list, resolutions, your raison d’être or simply put: how you want to be remembered.
Regardless of where you are on your legacy journey, if you are old enough to plan for your future and have a soft spot for your community, you can begin planning with a purpose... that has benefits!
The Forever Fund is an endowment fund that helps to streamline your planned giving needs by providing a central access point to multiple charities.
We partner with and provide ongoing annual investments to the United Way of Central NB who know and understand the immediate and long-term needs of our community and the 30+ local charities they support.
As a result, our annual investments have cascading positive impacts that deliver life-changing projects and services that help children, youth and families reach their full potential.
Managed by reputable financial institutions, the Forever Fund has clear investment goals and follows a rigorous process to ensure the United Way of Central NB has the essential and ongoing funding it needs to carry out the important work they do now and into the future.

the Forever Fund began with one person’s desire to make a difference in his community. This initial gift has inspired many others to show their local love and build on their legacy.
Franklin F. Creighton made a bequest of $444,550. Funds were administered by the Fredericton Foundation (now the Fredericton Community Foundation Inc.)
The United Way of Central NB established an Endowment Fund with the income from the Creighton bequest at its heart. All future bequests to the United Way, that were not otherwise directed, would be included as principal in the fund.
The Endowment Fund of the United Way of Central NB was incorporated and received its own charitable registration number.
A five-year strategic plan and a marketing plan were developed along with promotional materials. Permission to use the “Forever Fund” name and logo was received from the Endowment fund of the United Way of Kitchener-Waterloo.
The Forever Fund celebrates 25th anniversary in April!
The Forever Fund reaches $3 million goal!
