This initiative helps connect community needs with funding to make a meaningful impact in Mississauga.
Charitable Organization Funds
Charitable funds offer nonprofit organizations within Mississauga the chance to establish income-generating endowment funds. Creating a Charitable Fund with the Mississauga Foundation is an excellent choice for organizations looking for a simple and flexible way to create a fund - not their own foundation. Opening a Charitable Endowment Fund is an investment that ensures lasting support for your organization.
