We are an independent, volunteer driven, charitable organization that helps facilitate community philanthropy, by working with both donors and local charities and providing leadership on issues of community concern.

We hold collection of charitable funds established by people from all walks of life who have one thing in common—the desire to make a difference in their community… forever. We invest for the future.

“The work of registered charities and not-for-profits in the Kenora and Lake of the Woods Region could not happen at the level it does without the support of the Community Foundation and the funders who so generously give. These are real people with real stories, sharing the difference the grants have made in their lives and the opportunities they might not otherwise have had.”

— Judy Underwood, donor, grant recipient and volunteer for the Community Foundation
