A lot of money is being handed out to local charities!
The Community Foundation of Halton North (CFHN) has granted $713,000 to support charitable organizations and nonprofits in North Halton. The goal is to enhance the impact of community initiatives, uplift local charities, and foster positive change in Halton Hills and Milton.
Earlier this week, donors, volunteers and many of the organizations that received grants in 2023 came to the CFHN office for a celebration of philanthropy.
“CFHN builds endowments and grants back into the community,” says Darryl Demille, Chair of Marketing. “That’s what we do and that is what we need to continue to do, build the fund. If every charity had their own endowment, a steady stream of income would be granted to that charity, every year, forever and CFHN would be proud to help with that.”
CFHN has granted to 36 charities in 2023, including:
- Acton Foodshare
- Arthouse
- Artsparks
- BlackTECH Hub
