Smart & Caring Community Funds
It’s easy to support your home community with a
Smart & Caring Community Fund.
We don’t know what tomorrow will bring. Certainly, no one expected we’d be coping with a global pandemic for over a year.
This is why unrestricted funds, like the Smart & Caring Community Funds, are so important. These funds generate income that can be directed to urgent, pressing needs in your community, year after year. There’s a Smart & Caring Community Fund for every region we serve. And supporting them with your gifts is one of the best ways you can build a strong, resilient community for generations to come. Thank you!
Supporting a Smart & Caring Community Fund is one of the best ways you can establish a living legacy for the community or communities you love.
To donate to a fund, simply click on the Smart & Caring Community Fund you’d like to support and you will be directed to a secure, online form.

Stratford Perth Caring Communities
The Stratford Perth Community Foundation is one of the over 191 Community Foundations across Canada dedicated to facilitating philanthropy at the local level. This video shares the story of just a few of Perth County’s caring citizens committed to strengthening community vitality through philanthropy — now and for generations to come.
Smart & Caring Communities
As patron of Community Foundations of Canada, the Governor General of Canada has asked community foundations to join his call to all Canadians to build a ‘smart and caring nation’ leading up to 2017. His vision inspired and motivated our movement and Smart & Caring Communities is our response.
“Join me in imagining our country as it could be…a smart and caring nation, where all Canadians can succeed, contribute, and develop their talents to their fullest potential.”
Former Governor General of Canada, David Johnston
Smart & Caring Communities is a landmark effort that brings our movement together around two goals: first, to ensure that every community has access to a community foundation by 2017 and second, that communities across the country have access to dedicated resources through Smart & Caring Community Funds established specifically to respond to local priorities.
