Elderis Canvas Foundation

Elderis Canvas Foundation Inc (ECF) is a Raleigh-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit in early implementation, building community through storytelling, veteran-centered wellness, and creative development. Our work is designed to strengthen intergenerational connection and expand access to meaningful spaces, tools, and support for veterans, youth, older adults, and emerging creators.

Generational Legacy Studio is our flagship storytelling and media initiative. Generational Legacy Studio is designed to preserve lived experience, strengthen intergenerational connection, and create meaningful opportunities for people across generations to share stories, wisdom, and creative expression. Through pilot activity and community engagement, ECF is laying the foundation for a program that uses storytelling to deepen belonging, honor cultural memory, and strengthen community ties. Support for ECF helps launch this work and move the organization from early infrastructure to visible community action.
