Carleton North Community Foundation celebrates impressive donation list
The Carleton North Community Foundation (CNCF) has delivered a whopping $1,565,627 to deserving projects in the region over the past fifteen years.
The CNCF was launched in 2008 with a $2 million donation from The McCain Foundation as part of the celebrations marking the 50th anniversary of McCain Foods. Private contributions over the years have augmented this initial endowment.
The foundation received its charitable designation in 2009, and grants were first awarded in 2010. This year marks the 15th anniversary of their first grant.
Its volunteer Board of Directors has 12 community leaders from the Carleton North region. The foundation aims to support various eligible initiatives such as arts and culture, education, beautification, economic development, recreation, health and wellness, and the environment.
Funds donated to the foundation support local charitable organizations, registered Canadian amateur athletic associations, local schools and hospitals, and projects supported by federal, provincial, or municipal governments or government agencies.
The CNCF believes in strong communities. In a recent news release, the foundation said it was “pleased to support initiatives that strengthen and enrich the lives of the youth and adults who live in our area.”
If you are interested in supporting important projects that benefit our community and make an impact at the local level, please consider donating to Carleton North Community Foundation.
