About GNFC – Gurunanak Foundation

Guru Nanak Foundation of Canada

The Guru Nanak Foundation of Canada has been established to commemorate the 550th Birth Anniversary of Guru Nanak. Our group of dedicated Sikhs is inspired and guided by the great mission of humanity of Guru Nanak, which recognizes that one who earns their own livelihood and share with the needy, follows the true path of God.

Helping hands of the Sikhs

With the success, support, skills and experience learned from our direct involvement in several charity projects with many well-known non-profit and NGO organizations in the last decade, we have taken initiative to structure Guru Nanak Foundation of Canada. Our aim is to promote the values of Sikh principles by providing selfless seva (service) to the welfare of global communities. We are guided by the primary principles of Sikhism, which is the daily prayer of every Sikhs, with the concept of sarbat da bhala "welfare of all" or literally "may everyone prosper in the universe."

Together with the generous and motivated support of the community towards our volunteer service in the past, we have made a difference through our active participation in the programs that dramatically improve the quality and accessibility of education, food, clean-water and livelihoods of many poor and unfortunate people.
