Cyrus Foundation

The Cyrus Foundation distributes grants to nonprofits working across community services in Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area. The foundation focuses on supporting organizations that address gaps in social infrastructure, from housing and food security to employment training and mental health services. By funding vetted nonprofits, the foundation helps expand access to essential programs for vulnerable populations. The foundation's grant-making process emphasizes long-term partnerships and measurable outcomes, allowing nonprofits to plan beyond single funding cycles. Staff work directly with organizations to understand their needs and track how grants translate into community benefit.
