Woolwich is a community with a rich history of self-reliance and a vibrant community spirit. The Woolwich Community Fund was created to honour this legacy, providing a meaningful way for individuals and businesses to make a lasting impact on the local quality of life. By building endowment funds, we ensure our community remains strong and resilient for generations to come.

Grants from the fund specifically focus on enhancing the quality of life for children and youth (maximum 20 years old) who reside in Woolwich. Children and youth are the leaders and decision makers of tomorrow. It is essential that communities provide opportunities for children and youth to thrive and grow into their full potential through programs that strengthen their sense of identity, belonging, and wellbeing now and in the future.

Since 2000, over $250,000 has been distributed to more than 40 local organizations in the township. Approximately $20,000 will be distributed through the fund in 2026. Our Volunteer Committee reviews our funding priorities annually to ensure our support reflects the growth and diversity of our community.

We invite you to explore the impact stories shared by past grant recipients to see the breadth of initiatives made possible by our donors.
