Since 1981, caring donors have chosen the Toronto Community Foundation as their partner to help them give back to their communities. Here are the top 10 reasons they picked us:

1. We're Local
Toronto's community foundation was established by Torontonians for our city. We have deep roots in the community because we are an integral part of it.

2. For Toronto - For Now and For Always
As a community foundation, we keep our focus on shaping our city's future. We facilitate strategic philanthropy and create permanent endowments that will respond to the needs of Toronto for many generations.

3. Our Grants Have Impact
Our Toronto's Vital Signs Report, an eleven issue area indicator study on the health of our city, guides our granting for the greatest impact on Toronto.

4. We Work with the Best
Professional advisors of every type partner with us to provide their clients with the best possible charitable advice. We compliment your current advisor's expertise.

We provide highly personalized service tailored to your individual charitable and financial interests. Whether you want to give now or in the future, locally or nationally, we can customize a philanthropic plan that meets your objectives.

6. Money or Objects
You can establish your Fund with gifts of cash, appreciated stock, real estate, or other assets and receive maximum charitable and tax benefits. You can also plan future gifts through bequests and life insurance policies.

7. The Power of Many
By pooling the charitable endowments of our family of Fundholders, we are able to develop strong, long-term growth plans with the help of the best investment professionals.

8. Fund Flexibility
We offer a variety of types of Funds to suite our Fundholders' desired level of involvement. We provide the option for Fundholders to be recognized for their generosity or remain completely anonymous.

10. Lead Change
