Yes. The Burlington Community Foundation is a charity that you can support with a donation to our Burlington Community Foundation Sustainability Fund. These funds go directly towards advancing BCF’s mission.
Working in partnership with generous individuals, BCF has invested more than $13M into people, projects and initiatives in the Burlington community and across Canada, since its inception in 1999.
You can support the Foundation through one of BCF’s Cause Funds:
- Burlington Community Foundation Sustainability Fund – This fund supports the mission and sustainability of the Burlington Community Foundation’s operations. Through investing in our sustainable operations, BCF is able to respond to evolving community needs such as housing, mental health, arts and culture, the environment and more.
- Housing Support Fund – The Housing Support Fund was established as a collective response to BCF’s Vital Signs reporting. A gift to this fund supports annual grants to local charities supporting housing needs in Burlington and Halton Region.
- Burlington Community Fund – Gifts support BCF’s annual Community Granting Program, which provides funding to charitable organizations serving Burlington residents. Grant applications are reviewed by our Community Adjudication Committee.
- Mental Wellness Endowment Fund – The Mental Wellness Endowment Fund was established in response to BCF’s Vital Signs reporting, to improve mental health in the community. The fund benefits the community by supporting charitable organizations providing mental health supports, as part of BCF’s annual Community Granting Program.
