Smart & Caring Fund

In the 1920’s, when Community Foundations were established in Canada, the founding individuals could not have foreseen the challenges and problems facing communities almost 100 years later. The power of an unrestricted gift allows Community Foundation’s to provide grants to charities that are deemed a high priority – areas of need that have a profound impact on the community at large.
