Shaping a more community-centred future
From tracking the city’s wellbeing to funding ideas led by community to investing with purpose, we’re accelerating meaningful change for all.
Toronto’s Vital Signs
For over two decades Toronto’s Vital Signs Reports have tracked the city’s wellbeing. Our findings help inform community funding and programming, as well as connect donations to the smaller community organizations addressing the city’s greatest needs.
Wondering where to begin? Start here.
As Toronto’s community foundation, we make it easier for donors, advisors, and organizations to invest in lasting change.
HOW DOES A FUND WORK ?Toronto Foundation's office is situated on the traditional territory of the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabeg, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. We are grateful for the ongoing stewardship of this land where we have the opportunity to work, live and connect.
Furthering Indigenous reconciliation and sovereignty are integral to achieving a more fair and just society where everyone can thrive.
