The Felice and Silvana Battista Charitable Foundation

The Felice and Silvana Battista Charitable Foundation distributes grants to organizations serving vulnerable populations across Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area. The foundation focuses on community services that address poverty, homelessness, food insecurity, and social isolation among low-income residents. By providing financial support to established nonprofits, the foundation helps expand programs ranging from meal services and emergency housing assistance to job training and mental health support. The foundation prioritizes grassroots organizations with direct ties to the communities they serve, recognizing that local knowledge and relationships are essential to effective aid. Through strategic grantmaking, the foundation strengthens the capacity of Toronto's social safety net to reach people in crisis.
