Give Where You Live and Create Meaningful Change
At Kawartha Foundation, we believe anyone can leave a legacy. We make it easy for people to give where they live, facilitating philanthropic efforts to support impactful change in Kawartha Lakes.
Support Us
We are a valuable community asset, created by and for the people of our community. Our mission is to connect individuals, families, and businesses with causes that inspire them. As a registered charity and public foundation, we not only carry out our own charitable activities but also have the unique ability to attract, manage, and distribute funds.
Building a Strong Future
Our focus is on building permanent endowments and donor-advised funds that allow for long-term distribution. This approach makes us an ideal partner for addressing societal and systemic change.
Our Impact
We help accelerate significant community investments that require time to fund and build. We support emerging community efforts that are not yet formally established. Additionally, we enhance our impact by partnering with giving circles and charities with expertise in financial administration, donation management, tax receipting, and donor management.
Committed to Community Understanding
We actively pursue a better understanding of our community to design and prioritize effective programs and investments.
