The Lake Huron Forever initiative was developed in 2019 by shoreline community foundation and conservation partners from the United States and Canada. Our shared goal is to advance water quality protection and sustainable communities on both sides of the lake. The initiative supports efforts to design and implement on-the-ground projects that strengthen
the health of communities and their natural resources.
The Community Services Recovery Fund is a $400 million investment from the Government of Canada to support charities and non-profits as they focus on how to adapt their organizations for pandemic recovery.
Your community foundation supports many local environmental projects that build a healthy and resilient community for all. Consider a donation today, to preserve and protect our natural bounty and to connect more people with the healing power of nature.
Visiting Owen Sound Non-Profit Organizations in 2021
This summer Community Foundation Grey Bruce drove by some of our local non-profit organizations in Owen Sound for a socially distanced "hello". These organizations have been working hard for our community! The Foundation celebrates many great projects that have been supported with a community grant!
Community Foundation Grey Bruce in partnership with Georgian College and their Social Enterprise Network of Central Ontario (SENCO) is offering eligible organizations working to do good across Central Ontario the opportunity to access up to $100,000 in non-repayable capital through the Investment Readiness Program (IRP). This is part of a national initiative led by Community Foundations of Canada and funded by the Government of Canada that will provide $18.5 million across the country to seed and grow social enterprise.
This year marks the 25th Anniversary for Community Foundation Grey Bruce! Hear from founders Ovid Jackson & Lyle Love on how the foundation got started back in 1994, and from Executive Director, Stuart Reid on how the foundation is having an impact on the community today!
What do you want to see happen in the Next 25 years? The Next25 Fund will provide grants to charities and non profits whose projects address priorities that are identified in the Vital Signs®report. Supporting health & wellness, arts & culture, education & life long learning, living standards, the environment and community connectedness are indicators of community well being.
