Our Vision

We envision vibrant communities for all through permanent legacies.

Our Purpose

Our work is to help build vibrant communities by cultivating community capacity.

Vibrancy depends on long-term resources for long-term solutions, it comes from all corners of the community, and it needs leadership, so:

• We work with donors to build endowment funds that ensure vibrant futures for our communities and neighbourhoods.
• We grant funds to the widest possible range of organizations and initiatives to meet community needs.
• We bring neighbours together from all parts of our communities to stimulate new ideas, build participation, and strengthen community philanthropy.

• INTEGRITY – We are honest, respectful and ethical in all our thoughts and actions.
• ACCOUNTABILITY – We are accountable to those with whom we work and to those we serve including donors, clients, and partners.
• INCLUSIVITY – We are open to diverse thoughts and actions, regognizing that our communities and neighbourhoods include people of all ages and stations.
• INNOVATION – We are creative and inventive in our responses to opportunities and challenges.
• PERSPECTIVE- We are conscious that our decisions and actions impact today’s and future generations.
• LEVERAGE – We are rigorous in achieving maximum benefit from every relationship and opportunity.
