The Eenou-Eeyou Community Foundation has received a generous contribution from Figurr Architects Collective. The Figurr Architects Cree Education Fund raised $3,500 from its employees and partners, which Figurr matched for a total donation of $7,000. This initiative recognizes and honours the firm’s long-established relationship with the Crees of Eeyou Istchee.

Figurr Senior Partner Stephen Rotman expressed his appreciation for this latest endeavour: “On behalf of Figurr Architects Collective, I want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who donated to the Figurr Architects Cree Education Fund. Launched in honour of Figurr’s 35th anniversary, this fund establishes opportunities for educational success and empowers Cree youth in Eeyou Istchee.”

“This serves as a clear example of how organizations can work together to make a positive impact in the Cree Nation and for Cree youth,” said Dr. Sarah Pash, Chair of the Eenou-Eeyou Community Foundation. “We are touched, and we thank Figurr, its employees, and partners for sending a strong message through this contribution. Your donation emphasizes the importance of supporting Cree youth as they pursue school and realize their dreams.”
