Some companies choose to give back as a way of saying thanks to a community that has helped them succeed. Other companies focus on corporate social responsibility as a way to boost employee morale and strengthen brand recognition and loyalty.

Waterloo Region Community Foundation (WRCF) can support your company by helping to develop and administer a thoughtful giving plan that makes a lasting impact in the community.

WRCF will:

• Assist in the creation of a Company Endowment Fund.

• Help you engage your employees in contributing to the fund.

• Work with you to choose the charities you want to support.

• Provide educational opportunities for your staff to learn about community needs.

• Take care of all administrative functions, including accepting donations and issuing tax receipts, helping you choose the areas you want to support, sending grants to charities, and collecting/sharing stories of impact.

Not a company but want to increase your impact by giving with others? 

Similar to a Company Endowment Fund, we can work with your group or organization to pool your gifts together to establish a collective fund and provide opportunities for you to learn more about grantmaking and areas of need in the community.
