Positive, Systemic, Sustainable Change

By partnering with the Ottawa Community Foundation, donors can support many causes and organizations through various types of funds and our flexible fund vehicles.
Donations are invested and professionally managed for growth over time and to assure a long-term sustainable impact.
The Ottawa Community Foundation also manages donations that are not invested and can be granted at any time.
Establishing a fund is easy and can be done in a few short steps.
A donor-advised fund is an ideal alternative to establishing a private foundation. Get started with $5,000 (over five years).
