At Waterloo Region Community Foundation (WRCF), we know the importance of coming together to address our community’s most pressing needs. Gifts made to WRCF are invested in an endowment fund, providing a permanent source of funding for our community – it’s like the gift that keeps on giving! Each year, the income earned is distributed through grants to support a wide range of charitable causes in Waterloo Region.

Unsure of what you want to support? Consider making a gift to the Community Fund, which empowers responsive grantmaking to a wide variety of needs now and into the future.
