Burlington Community Foundation connects people with the causes they care about most. As your local community foundation, we help individuals, families and businesses turn generosity into lasting impact.
We believe everyone should have the opportunity to thrive. That’s why we invest in people, organizations and initiatives that strengthen Burlington and communities across Canada.
Through charitable granting, community investment, donor advised funds, and personalized philanthropic support, we provide the expertise and resources to help giving make a difference today and for generations to come.
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 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.
