Kincardine Community Fund
Mission Statement
Created in 2015 from seed money from Municipality of Kincardine, the Kincardine Community Fund exists to enrich the quality of life for the people of the Municipality of Kincardine by supporting projects of not-for-profit charitable organizations within the municipality. The Kincardine Community Fund is managed by a Fund Management Committee made up of two public members and one Council member.
The community fund is in place to help the citizens of Kincardine to:
- Keep their charitable donations working in Kincardine

- Your donation grows and keeps on giving
- Create a lasting legacy for generations to come
- Receive income tax receipts for donations
