Our History
NIGGV operates under a volunteer Board of twelve Directors and receives funding from various government ministries, but it cannot solely depend on these sources. Thus, the NIGG Foundation was formed in 2000 to aid with fundraising efftorts at the Village. As a not-for-profit organization and registered charity, the Foundation funds projects that benefit the residents of Ina Grafton.

Major Project
To coincide with Ina Grafton's 50th anniversary, the NIGG Foundation announced a major project in May 2008. The project will be the construction of a covered entranceway known as a porte-cochere at the Atrium entrance to "B" Building. The porte-cochere will enhance the entrance, make it more visible, provide all-weather accessibility, and improve traffic flow issues. The project will get underway in the spring of 2009.
