Forever Fund
for Dufferin County
Building community across the generations.
What We Do
When you give to Dufferin Community Foundation, we invest your gift into permanent (endowed) funds and use the annual income to give grants to charities, every year… forever. We are 100% local. All of our grants help to meet urgent needs, foster opportunities and enrich quality of life in Dufferin County. Join us as we grow for our community!
Arts & Culture Grant Amps Up Young Voices
The Sing Club and Centre Stage program at Streams Community Hub will be getting upgraded microphones and audio equipment this year, thanks to a $2,500 grant from the Foundation. The new equipment will enhance the quality of the live performances and recording sessions by children and youth. READ MORE ON ARTS GRANTS
