Congratulations to the 30 Community Grants 2025 Recipients!
The Guelph Community Foundation’s board and staff are pleased to announce the Community Grants Program grant recipients for 2025. This year will cheerfully conclude with 30 local charities receiving a total of $145,887.70 in funding!
The Community Grants application process takes place each fall, when local charities and non-profits are invited to apply for grants of up to $5,000. Charities operating in Guelph and/or Wellington County must demonstrate that their application fits within the framework of our local Toward Common Ground wellbeing concepts and connects with one of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. The applications are evaluated by a volunteer committee made up of Guelph residents who are dedicated to supporting local charities that are making positive impacts in our community.
The Foundation staff and Board of Directors are deeply grateful to GCF’s generous donors and fundholders that enable us to provide grants to address such a wide breadth of needs. Community Grants is only one portion of the total amount of annual funding provided from the many funds held by the Foundation. For example, The Guelph Community Foundation granted $1.2 million to Canadian charities in 2024. We thank all applicants for taking the time to apply for this grant and for the incredible work that charities do to make Guelph and Wellington County a great place to live and work!
