The Annual Foundation

The Annual Foundation distributes grants to nonprofits across Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area that address gaps in community services. The foundation identifies high-need areas where existing programs fall short and funds organizations working on poverty reduction, housing stability, food security, youth development, and elder care. By directing resources to smaller, grassroots charities often overlooked by larger funders, The Annual Foundation helps strengthen the social safety net for vulnerable populations throughout the region. The foundation operates through a rigorous grantmaking process that evaluates both the quality of proposed work and the capacity of applicant organizations to deliver results.
