- Responsive Grants: Targeting urgent needs and opportunities identified through rigorous research and community collaboration, these grants ensure funding is directed to the most pressing challenges facing Toronto.
- Core Grants: Flexible, smaller-scale grants that support the Foundation’s core programs and enable it to adapt to evolving community priorities.
- Donor-Advised Grants: Empowering fundholders to support causes they are passionate about, these grants create a personalized and meaningful approach to philanthropy.
- Social Impact Investments: Designed to deliver both financial returns and measurable social benefits, these investments drive sustainable, long-term change in the community.
Toronto Foundation raises endowment funds through individual donations, family and organizational funds, grants, and strategic partnerships. These endowments generate perpetual income, ensuring that your contribution continues to support critical programs year after year. Donors also have the flexibility to align their giving with their personal values, creating lasting impact on the causes that matter most to them.
Your support plays a vital role in addressing key challenges in areas like poverty, education, health, and the environment. By fostering sustainable funding, the Toronto Foundation creates a legacy of positive change, helping to build a stronger, more inclusive Toronto.
