Volunteers
The Guelph Community Foundation was formed by a group of friends who wanted to support all the good work being done by many organizations in their community. 25 years later our amazing volunteers are continuing that work by donating hours every year in operational and advisory roles within the Guelph Community Foundation. Like the grantees supported by funds from the Foundation, volunteers power our work to amplify, connect and support all the good being done in our community. It is volunteers’ skills, time, and energy that allow us to strengthen and support our community through philanthropic leadership. We are so honoured to have over 30 volunteers from all walks of life who support our work and this community.
