We are the
Forever Fund
for Dufferin County
Connecting People Who Care With Causes That Matter
What We Do
Our vision is to ensure that every generation has the resources it needs to impact community change. We do this by investing donor gifts into permanent endowment funds that generate income and grow over time. This income is used to support local charities and meet urgent needs, every year… forever. Join us as we grow for our community!
Calling all groups bringing refugees to Dufferin
We will have $4,000 in grant monies available to help with a refugee’s first year in Dufferin County. This is the first grant from our from our Refugee Resettlement Fund. We will be bringing groups together to collectively decide how to use the grant most effectively.
Please contact Michele Fisher for more information.
Shelburne Community Fund gets a major boost!
The Order of the Eastern Star Normac Chapter held several fundraisers – including a fantastic murder mystery! – raising $3,000 for Shelburne’s “Forever Fund”. Many thanks to Worthy Matron Jennifer Gohn (l), Worthy Patron Robert Katzman (r) and the Normac Chapter members for their outstanding commitment. Like the chapter itself, their gift will help for generations.
