The Cowan Foundation is celebrating two significant milestones this year - 20 years of building community and 20 million dollars in donations.

 “The Cowan Foundation was started in 1995 in honour of Frank Cowan, the founder of Frank Cowan Company and Cowan Insurance Group”, says Maureen Cowan, Chairman and Co-CEO Princeton Holdings Limited and Chairman of The Cowan Foundation.  “Although basking in accolades would have gone against his grain, we would be remiss if we didn’t offer him deserved thanks for placing such importance on building community where we do business. This strong focus on our community is an important part of the culture across the Princeton Holdings group of companies.”

Over the past 20 years, The Cowan Foundation has made a significant impact in Canadian communities, supporting approximately 450 charitable organizations.

“As our operating companies, including Cowan Insurance Group and its subsidiaries continue to grow and evolve,” says Terry Reidel, Executive Director, The Cowan Foundation, “we look forward to continuing to partner with, and support, charities that matter to our employees, business partners, and clients, and that contribute to the well-being of Canadian communities.”

Those subsidiaries include: The Williamson Group, Millennium CreditRisk Management, Wentworth Financial Services and Cowan Financial Solutions, Frank Cowan Company, The Guarantee Company of North America, Cowan Asset Management, and Fountain Street Finance.

It has been a busy two decades full of partnership and positive impact, says Reidel, pointing out that the anniversary is not only about remembering the past, but also about shaping the future.

To celebrate the milestone, in addition to the planned 2015 contributions, The Cowan Foundation has donated $20,000 to each of the following ten charitable organizations in Canada:
