CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF OSHAWA-EMPLOYEES' CHARITY TRUST

The Corporation of the City of Oshawa-Employees' Charity Trust distributes funds to local organizations addressing poverty, health, education, and social services across Oshawa and the surrounding region. The trust receives support from city employees who contribute through workplace giving programs, with grants then directed to vetted nonprofits serving residents in need. The foundation prioritizes funding for food banks, youth programs, mental health services, and emergency assistance that help vulnerable populations access essential resources. By connecting employee donations to community impact, the trust strengthens social safety nets throughout the Durham Region while demonstrating how institutional giving can address local gaps in services and support.
