Your Philanthropy Matters
You care about Peterborough, and you work hard to make this community a better place. That makes you a philanthropist. Philanthropy is a quality that exists deep within you, it’s your generosity of spirit, your desire to help, a firm belief that you can make a difference.
The Community Foundation is here to help you create a meaningful and lasting difference in your community. We work closely with you to align your values, goals and vision with the community’s needs in order to make your gift as impactful as possible.
The Community Foundation is Your Partner in Philanthropy

Meaningful Giving
We work closely with you to align your values, goals and vision with the community’s unique and local needs in order to make your gift as impactful as possible. Drawing on our knowledge of current community trends and our network of charitable organizations, we can help identify opportunities and solutions that will make a difference in the causes that matter most to you.
Responsible Stewardship
You can depend on the professionalism and expertise of the Community Foundation to provide sound financial and administrative management of your gift. We manage investments to carefully balance risk and return, while keeping management and administrative costs to a minimum.
Simplicity and Flexibility
With a variety of ways to give, you can establish a fund today, or plan to give in the future. You can choose to support your favourite charities, specific areas of interest, or create unique opportunities for community investment. Setting up a fund is simple, and the Community Foundation will help you with every step, personalizing your experience to offer you the levels of support, involvement and recognition you desire.
Lasting Impact
You can build a legacy through your giving. When your gift is endowed with the Foundation, the principal is never spent, so your fund will continue to have a positive impact in our community for generations to come. This long-term approach means you can help address complex issues, making a meaningful difference now and in the future.
