"Connecting Donors Who Care With Causes That Matter"

The Community Foundation of Ottawa is a very flexible yet secure philanthropic vehicle that is available to anyone who would like to give something back to the community. As an independent centre for community philanthropy, it connects donors who care with causes that matter and serves as a trusted resource for addressing issues and leveraging opportunities in the community.

One of the most successful of the 165 community foundations across Canada, the Community Foundation of Ottawa has built an enviable reputation for astute financial management, high quality donor services, strategic grant making and effective partnerships. It has earned respect and support by being innovative and flexible and by maintaining the highest standards of excellence, efficiency and accountability in all of its endeavours.

Donations are pooled into an ever-growing, permanent endowment fund and only the earnings generated through its investment are distributed in the form of grants. Thus donors can be confident that a gift to the Community Foundation, no matter how small or in what form, is a gift that will continue to give for many years to come - forever, in fact.
