Who We Are

Burlington’s Giving & Generosity Hub

Burlington Community Foundation has been the city’s trusted philanthropic partner for more than 25 years.

Established in 1999 by Burlington residents, BCF brings together generous donors, businesses and community members who want to have a lasting impact in our local community and beyond.

We serve as a charitable giving hub, managing donor advised funds that provide on-going resources for granting in our local community and to charities across Canada.

With our support, generous individuals who want to make a difference can create a sustained stream of funding to meet their short and long-term generosity goals.

We also identify community needs and provide regular grants to charitable organizations working to strengthen quality of life in Burlington.

BCF is part of a national network of more than 200 community foundations across Canada, all working to create communities where everyone belongs.
