We are the Phil McNamee Charitable Foundation

Our focus is in two distinct areas: education and the environment. We work with the Thames Valley Education Foundation to provide exceptional graduating high school students, who have overcome obstacles, to provide scholarships for them to pursue post-secondary education. Currently there are more than a 15 students working through their post-secondary education. In total, since 2011, we have granted 5 dozen scholarships.

On the other front, we support Solitude Nature Reserve and Serenity Nature Reserve that are barrier-free for people to enjoy all the benefits of being in nature. Outdoor natural settings are significant antidotes to the rise of too many people, especially our young people, being sedentary, less active. There is a greater need for less structure, less technology, and more free green space to explore and learn in nature. We promote the Vitamin N factor to help decrease the mental and physical ailments that our society is experiencing today. And natural settings are all-inclusive links to healthy development.
