SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY FUND

 This fund is created to support organizations and community efforts that help address poverty reduction, fair or improved labour practices, housing supports, food security, mental health and addiction supports and reductions in inequality.

Our intention is that the Social Sustainability Fund will

§  Be informed by Vital Signs data uncovering the greatest community needs and directing support where resources can have the greatest long-term impact. 

§  Support organizations and projects that have a strong plan and ability to create meaningful and lasting change on the key issues identified by Vital Signs

§  Support innovative and creative ideas that support the well-being of people and communities building more resilient, sustainable and thriving societies.

We recognize that the needs of the community will evolve and change, and our Social Sustainability Fund will be responsive and shift priorities as needed.  Therefore, each year of the Social Sustainability Fund could look different to adapt and support the needs of the City of Kawartha Lakes and its residents.
