EDWARD AND FERN COHEN FOUNDATION

The Edward and Fern Cohen Foundation provides grants and financial support to organizations addressing community needs across the Greater Toronto Area. As a public foundation, it evaluates applications from nonprofits working in social services, education, health, and other community benefit areas. The foundation works to strengthen local capacity by funding projects that address gaps in service delivery and create measurable improvements for vulnerable populations. Based in Thornhill, the foundation considers requests from established registered charities that demonstrate clear outcomes and effective program management. Grant recipients have included organizations focused on seniors, youth, families in crisis, and people experiencing homelessness or food insecurity.
