100 GATES FOUNDATION

100 Gates Foundation provides grants and direct support to grassroots community organizations across the Greater Toronto Area, with a focus on Thornhill and surrounding regions. The foundation identifies local nonprofits working on urgent social needs including poverty reduction, youth development, and neighbourhood stability, then funds their operations and program expansion. Rather than imposing top-down priorities, 100 Gates works with community leaders to understand what services are most needed in their own areas. The foundation also convenes nonprofit leaders to share best practices and strengthen collaboration across the sector. By directing resources to organizations with deep roots in their communities, 100 Gates aims to strengthen the social safety net where it matters most.
