Read about our community leadership
Hamilton Community Foundation was founded in 1954 as Ontario’s first community foundation. Like all community foundations, HCF has three main roles:
- Building resources for long-lasting solutions. We work with donors to build funds that ensure vital futures for our community.
- Supporting all aspects of community life. We grant to the widest possible range of organizations and initiatives.
- Fostering community leadership. We bring people together from all parts of the community to stimulate new ideas, build participation and strengthen community philanthropy.
HCF is one of approximately 160 community foundations in Canada and almost 1200 worldwide. Since it was founded, Hamilton Community Foundation has made grants to our community totalling more than $55 million, including approximately $4.1 million last year. We invite you to explore our site to find out how we are making an impact in Hamilton and how you can be a part of it.
