The University of Winnipeg Foundation The University of Winnipeg Foundation is a registered and incorporated charitable public foundation dedicated to fundraising and asset stewardship in support of The University of Winnipeg‟s mission. With the help of generous donors, the Foundation is building a legacy for the University, to enable it to better meet the needs, inspire the dreams of students, and create limitless possibilities for the future. Manitoba Scholarships and Bursaries Initiative (MSBI) The Government of Manitoba provides matching funds for donations made to universities and colleges through its Manitoba Scholarships and Bursaries Initiative (MSBI). MSBI matching grants are used to provide direct scholarship and bursary assistance to students, and to supplement endowments for both new and existing awards.
