Burlington Community Foundation is your local community foundation partner. As a registered charity, we help connect people to causes they care about and support their generosity planning.
We exist to support and advance the well-being of our community and residents, and we believe in a community where everyone should have the opportunity to thrive.
We provide tools, resources and guidance to create the greatest impact to strengthen Burlington and communities across Canada. This includes investment management through donor advised funds, community investments and granting.
Burlington as we know it today is rich in history and modern traditions of many First Nations and the Métis. From the Anishinaabeg to the Haudenosaunee, and the Métis – our lands spanning from Lake Ontario to the Niagara Escarpment are steeped in Indigenous history.
The territory is mutually covered by the Dish with One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement between the Iroquois Confederacy, the Ojibway and other allied Nations to peaceably share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes.
The Burlington Community Foundation acknowledges that the land on which we gather, work and play is part of the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit.
We celebrate our Urban Indigenous brothers and sisters across Burlington and deeply value their contributions and voices in the community.
