Our performance at the Canadian Rugby Foundation continues on a growth trajectory begun in 2021, with assets between December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2026 increasing from $25.3 million to $32.2 million, largely due to Fletcher\u2019s Fields Limited\u2019s major donations in January and June.<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<p>As well, we continue to expand our footprint across Canada to 96 funds in 8 provinces.<\/p>\n<p>By year-end 2026, we hope to approach the 100-fund milestone and add to our $32 million+ mark in assets. This growth is only possible through the efforts, good will, and confidence of our existing fund representatives and club executives, our current and future donors, and the increased interest and commitment to long-term sustainability at rugby clubs across Canada.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s hoping the remainder of 2026 and the new year is successful on the pitch, and prosperous off it for all!<\/p>\n<p>Cheers,<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #1c00f2;\"><em>Jeff Chan<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Chief Executive Officer<br \/>\nCanadian Rugby Foundation<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Home \u00bb Awards News \u00bb Canadian Rugby Foundation Newsletter \u2013 October 2026 Canadian Rugby Foundation Newsletter \u2013 October 2026 Posted on November 2, 2026 GREETINGS!
