A vibrant, diverse and inclusive Hamilton
To drive positive change by connecting diverse people, ideas and resources
Helping people give in a way that has meaning to them and impact in the community.
Like all community foundations, HCF is unique from other charities because donors may support any area of charitable interest including arts and culture, education, health and human services, environment and recreation.
Supporting all aspects of community life through grants and financing to a wide range of charitable organizations and initiatives.
Beyond our traditional granting, HCF is unique in Hamilton because we also offer loans to charitable organizations and initiatives. This puts more of our capital to work for Hamiltonians. We also increase the amount of funds available to Hamilton programs by leveraging partnerships and matching gifts from a range of private and public partners.
Engaging in community leadership by bringing people together to address priority issues that affect Hamiltonians.
Leadership is an HCF hallmark. We mobilize our knowledge, assets and relationships to address emerging community issues and opportunities. We act to drive positive change and foster a vibrant inclusive city.
