The Chêne Foundation

The Chêne Foundation provides grants and funding support to community service organizations across Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area. The foundation identifies nonprofits working on social issues including poverty reduction, youth development, housing, and health services, then provides financial resources to help these organizations expand their reach and impact. By distributing funds strategically, the foundation helps strengthen the local charity sector and ensures that frontline organizations can sustain and grow their programs. The foundation works with community partners to understand funding gaps and direct resources where they're needed most, playing a key role in the infrastructure that allows smaller nonprofits to serve vulnerable populations effectively.
