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!
Every gift you make creates a local legacy
Join us in making a truly significant difference to our community by donating a holiday gift to one of our “forever funds”.
You can help children and youth, forever. Conserve our environment, forever. Promote arts and culture in Dufferin County, forever.
With more than 12 funds to choose from, there will be one that captures your heart!
