Welcome to Hamilton Community Foundation
Connecting people, ideas and resources through community philanthropy
Hamilton Community Foundationwas founded in 1954 as Ontario’s first community foundation. We connect the philanthropic interests of local citizens with Hamilton’s needs and opportunities to help them make the difference they want to make in strengthening our city.. We do this in three ways:
- Help donors and organizations build funds to make the difference they want to make in the community – to give back in a way that has meaning to them.
- Support all aspects of community life by giving grants to the widest possible range of charitable organizations and initiatives.
- Foster community leadership by bringing people together from all parts of the community to stimulate new ideas, build participation and strengthen Hamilton.
