For Donors

Community foundations provide a simple, powerful, and highly personal approach to giving. We offer a variety of giving tools to help people achieve their charitable goals.

​

Whether small or large, your gift can make a big impact because it is added to the Foundation's investment pool which provides income that is eventually distributed as grants to non-profit organizations in Portage & District. These organizations then use the grants for wonderful projects and programs. All because someone like you took time to make a donation!


Make a Donation & Make a Difference, Now & Forever!

​

Please note that in accordance with CRA rules and recommendations, while donors may indicate a preference for how their donation may be applied, the ultimate authority rests, at all times, with the charity receiving the donations as to how the funds are used. Further, if a charity does not use the donation in accordance with a donor’s preference, the charity is not obliged to, and will not return said funds to the donor.

​

For more information on charitable giving, including guidance, policies, and regulations, please visit the CRA website: https://www.canada.ca/en/services/taxes/charities.html.

From the generous donations by the Founders to the Community Matching initiatives, these are the programs we have used to grow our Endowment Fund
