2020 KWCF Impact Update

2020 KWCF Impact Update

Doing More Good, Forever, Together makes quite an impact. Together with our Fundholders, Kitchener Waterloo Community Foundation (KWCF) is creating a caring community where everyone thrives. KWCF was created by people in our community, for people in our community. We enable people, companies and organizations to do more good by making it easy for Fundholders and Donors to give or invest money, and for charities to receive money. At the heart of our work, KWCF has three great tools in our toolkit to impact the community. In partnership with our Fundholders and Donors, we Grant. We also participate through Impact Investing – and encourage others to join us. And, we Convene conversations across the community, bringing people together to share knowledge and discuss issues that matter, which hopefully leads people towards action. Thanks to those listed below, KWCF has been granting and investing money into Waterloo Region for over 36 years. If you want to join us in making an impact in our community, and have your donation give back… forever… talk to us.
