Toronto Foundation

Toronto Foundation The Art of Wise Giving™ We help people invest in Toronto, making it the best place to live, work, learn and grow. We exist for Toronto - for now and for always.

Community vitality has been our purpose, promise, and passion since 1981, when we started connecting donors to community needs and opportunities. We monitor the quality of life in our city, identifying its strengths and weaknesses through our Toronto’s Vital Signs® report. We provide the leadership and guidance to bring people together from all parts of our community.

It’s guided her work for decades—from Owlkids Magazine to ClearWater Farm Ontario and Future Chicken—and it starts with something simple: caring enough to get involved. Her advice? “Once your heart is connected, your hands can go to work.” Read more: bit.ly/4tgxECo
