Through the generosity of our donors, friends and fundholders, your Community Foundation builds smart and caring communities today and forever through post-secondary Student Awards and Community Impact Grants.

We are honoured to connect visionary donors and friends with causes that truly matter, to be able to invest in people, projects and organizations that make our communities stronger – now and forever. Together we are also helping to move the needle of change, impacting the lives of many and all areas of the region.
