Heritage Community Foundation
9912 106 St, Room 54, Edmonton, Alberta T5K1C5

Heritage Community Foundation (HCF) was founded by Leonard Moreland, President and CEO of Heritage Bank. Leonard had watched local community banks fail one after another, until there was just one local community bank left to serve the south metro-Heritage Bank. He also saw our local nonprofits, which had many needs but few resources, struggling to find funding in the same down economy. That's when he decided to create the Heritage Community Foundation.
