The Community Foundation of Greater Kingston is guided by its mission to "strengthen and enhance the quality of life in our community." Our granting programs are reflective of this fundamental mission.

Since its incorporation in 1995, the Community Foundation has connected donors to causes that matter through our grantmaking programs and initatives. We have distributed more than $4,000,000 to support the emerging and existing needs in our community, identified by our eight grantmaking sectors.

The Community Foundation administers a wide variety of endowments, including: Donor Advised, Donor Designated, Field-of-Interest and Scholarships. Over 70 funds have been established at the Foundation from which grants are made, with current assets of over $12 million.

Fifteen organizations have created an Agency Fund under the umbrella of the Community Foundation, benefiting from our investment expertise and position within the community.

Pages in the "Grantseekers" section have been designed for local non-profit charitable organizations seeking funding from the Foundation or information about establishing an Agency Fund.
