The Pinecone Charitable Foundation is an independent private foundation headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and recognized by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization.
The pinecone, a timeless symbol of growth and renewal, inspires our name and our purpose.
Like its seeds that bring forth life, we strive to nurture ideas, communities, and initiatives that create meaningful and sustainable change across the world.
Our foundation continues a legacy of compassion and philanthropy by supporting programs in health, education, research, and humanitarian development.
Through partnerships built on integrity and trust, we aim to transform compassion into measurable impact that uplifts people and strengthens societies.
Our mission is to empower people, strengthen communities, and inspire compassion through charitable investment and collaboration.
We work to expand opportunities and promote well-being by funding initiatives that:
Advance access to quality healthcare and medical innovation.
Promote education, learning, and research as keys to human potential.
Support social welfare and help vulnerable individuals regain stability and dignity.
Encourage humanitarian response and long-term community development.
We believe that generosity is the foundation of progress — that every thoughtful act of giving can ignite lasting transformation.
We envision a world where empathy drives innovation and knowledge builds bridges between people.
A world where compassion fuels progress, and where each person has the opportunity to live with dignity, health, and hope.
The Pinecone Charitable Foundation seeks to build a network of lasting goodness — connecting human potential with purpose through education, science, and service.
We are more than a grantmaker; we are a partner in progress, helping seeds of kindness grow into forests of opportunity.
We uphold integrity in every decision, act with compassion toward every community, and pursue sustainability in every project.
Our team values collaboration, recognizing that meaningful change happens when people work together toward a shared vision.
We also champion innovation, supporting new ideas and approaches that can advance human well-being and environmental harmony.
These values define our foundation and guide our actions across all borders.
We collaborate with registered charities, nonprofit institutions, and community leaders in Canada, the United States, and beyond.
Our approach emphasizes long-term partnerships that combine transparency, accountability, and measurable outcomes.
Our key areas of focus include:
Healthcare and Medical Research – improving lives through better treatment, prevention, and access to care.
Education and Scholarships – expanding learning opportunities for underserved youth and fostering research excellence.
Community Empowerment – funding social initiatives that fight poverty, promote inclusion, and strengthen resilience.
Environmental Sustainability – protecting the ecosystems that sustain future generations.
Every project we support reflects our belief that enduring progress begins with compassion, guided by evidence, and strengthened through collaboration.
Each year, Pinecone Charitable Foundation invests in initiatives that enhance medical care, expand educational opportunities, and support community well-being.
We believe that impact is not only measured in numbers, but in lives transformed, communities strengthened, and hope restored.
Our contributions have helped advance research, provide access to health and learning, and bring together organizations that share a common goal — to make the world a kinder, healthier, and more resilient place.
The Pinecone Charitable Foundation was founded as a continuation of the philanthropic mission of the Apotex Foundation, carrying forward a vision of service, compassion, and community care.
From our roots in Canada, we extend our reach globally — supporting charitable causes that improve quality of life and inspire future generations.
Our leadership, including Alexandra Krawczyk, Brad Krawczyk, and a dedicated board of directors, are committed to stewarding the foundation’s legacy with transparency, integrity, and purpose.
Our story is simple yet powerful:
to plant seeds of compassion today, so that tomorrow’s world may flourish with hope and humanity.
