Frank Flaman & the Flaman Foundation
The Frank Flaman Foundation was created to support and partner with existing charitable organizations in providing for those in need, locally and around the world.
The mandate of the Foundation is to serve children and families in need of basic necessities of life and the Foundation is proud to work with many organizations who share this same vision. Projects are funded by the Foundation and from private donations from businesses and people like you. It is Mr. Flaman’s personal mission to help eradicate world suffering and to support children and families in need of the most basic necessities of life, such as clean drinking water, food sustainability, education, eyesight and safety. This personal mission is why the Frank Flaman Foundation was set up over 18 years ago.
Through partnerships with other worthy, fiscally responsible charitable
organizations aligned with the same vision, we continue to work together to give children and families a strong foundation and healthy start in life so that they may grow, thrive and reach their potential.
​
In the past number of years, the Frank Flaman Foundation has spent much
effort and many resources on international aide in the developing world. In the future, the Foundation will continue its international support while also focusing more extensively on serving those in need within our own
communities, province and country.
​
May you also find a way to share your own unique gifts and
talents and may your lives be spent, in some way, in an act of service to help those in need.
