The Grant and Grow Solution

At The Community Foundation of Mississauga, we understand the importance of making a meaningful impact in our community through giving. As valued donors, we recognize that you share our commitment to creating positive and lasting change, but most importantly, immediate impact for the pressing needs within our community.

Introducing - The Grant and Grow Solution

Grant and Grow amplifies the impact of endowed funds. Here's how it works:

Immediate Impact Today, Enduring Legacy Tomorrow

We empower our donors by redirecting a portion of your donation directly to the charity of your choice, ensuring a more immediate impact on the causes you care about. Simultaneously, we continue to build your long-term legacy through the endowment, creating a lasting influence that extends well into the future.

Key Elements of Support

• 60/40 Allocation: Grant and Grow employs a thoughtful 60/40 allocation strategy, balancing 60% of the donation towards the growth of the endowment for long-term sustainability, and directing 40% towards immediate impact.
• Security of Principal: As with all endowed funds, donors can trust that the donated capital of their fund is never spent.
• Enduring Impact: Grant and Grow ensures that the impact of the contribution extends beyond an individual's lifetime, ensuring that your fund will continue to give today, tomorrow and forever.

“Through Grant and Grow, I witness my vision unfold as it provides immediate impact and allows my fund to consistently generate positive change, both in the present and for the future.” — Jim Kennedy
