  • The Lynn Groves Hautmann Chrysalis Endowment Fund

A legacy of leadership. A future secured.

Lynn Groves Hautmann believed in growth—in the power of safe, supportive communities to unlock talent, amplify voices, and create lives filled with meaning, fulfillment, and joy. 
 
During her 11 years as CEO, she strengthened Chrysalis with vision and courage, expanding opportunity for adults with disabilities across Alberta and championing innovation rooted in dignity and respect. 
 
Her leadership shaped lives. Her values shaped culture. Her impact continues. 
 
Today, you can help protect and extend that legacy. 
 
Established through the Edmonton Community Foundation (ECF), the Lynn Groves Hautmann Chrysalis Endowment Fund provides permanent, sustainable funding to advance personalized programs, creative expression, employment pathways, and inclusive community opportunities. 
 
An endowment gift is both heartfelt and strategic. It honors a remarkable leader. It strengthens a trusted institution. It secures opportunity for generations to come. 
 
If you believe in building impact that endures, we invite you to be part of this lasting investment in growth, independence, and belonging. 
 

What is an endowment?

An endowment is a permanent fund invested for long-term growth. 

  • The principal remains intact. 

  • Annual earnings provide reliable funding year after year.

  • The impact continues — in perpetuity. 

Through the Edmonton Community Foundation, gifts to this endowment are professionally managed to generate sustainable income that strengthens Chrysalis today and safeguards its future. 

 

An endowment is how generosity becomes legacy.
