The Woolwich Community Fund


Children and youth are the leaders and decision makers of tomorrow. It is essential that communities provide opportunities for children and youth to thrive and grow into their full potential through programs that strengthen their sense of identity, belonging, and well being now and in the future.

The Woolwich Community Fund was established to meet a wide range of changing needs that exist across Woolwich Township now, and in perpetuity. Grants specifically focus on enhancing the quality of life for children and youth who reside in Woolwich. Since 2002, over $200,000 has been distributed to support initiatives in the region. Approximately $20,000 will be distributed through the fund in 2024.
