The Community Foundation has a mandate to create healthy, vibrant and inclusive communities. Our primary tool for achieving this mandate is providing funding for charitable activities in our region. We typically grant between $600,000 and $1.5 million per year with a dedicated team of professionals committed to in depth research, relationship-building and reporting on all grants made.
The Foundation is also a leader with other impact tools including being a community convener, researcher and impact investor.
