TObringing STRENGTHEN peopleOUR COMMUNITY and causes together

A MESSAGE FROM OUR BOARD CHAIR AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR As we wrap up the books on 2016, we are energized by a whirlwind year of collaboration and community building. We realized financial gains in the market, reaffirmed our strategic direction and set the groundwork for a focused year ahead.

Collaboration: Gearing up for Canada’s 150th Be inspired The Community Fund for Canada’s 150th was established this year to mark the upcoming sesquicentennial year - enabling us to inject more grant dollars than ever into our community. Through our Community Grants program, in collaboration with Community Foundations of Canada and The Government of Canada, we granted over $147,000 to 26 charitable organizations who in turn brought their programs and activities to life, with the goal of building, encouraging and inspiring a sense of community. We were amazed and inspired when some of our fund holders and board members stepped up and allocated additional funds - demonstrating a truly collaborative effort and underscoring what it truly means to be Canadian, and ultimately a caring philanthropist in Guelph.

Growth & Development At The Guelph Community Foundation, we strive to inspire a love for We were able to grant a total of $668,571 in 2016 – 19% more than in 2015. We added 4 new funds for a total of 133 funds. We community, a joy for giving back and an easy way to do it. Our donors and fund holders invest in our community because they believe in now manage over $14 million in assets - over $10 million of which are endowed.

The Musagetes Fund is intended to act as a catalyst for the ongoing production and enjoyment of performing, visual and literary arts excellence in Guelph and area. With the help of The Guelph Community Foundation, the Musagetes Fund aspires to make a meaningful and lasting contribution to the arts scene for our community’s benefit.

For 2016, the Musagetes Fund was particularly interested in new approaches to building community and culture.
