The Janice Lewis and Mitchell Cohen Foundation

The Janice Lewis and Mitchell Cohen Foundation distributes grants to organizations addressing community needs across Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area. The foundation supports initiatives in education, health, social services, and arts and culture, with a focus on programs that benefit vulnerable and underserved populations. By funding nonprofits working directly in their communities, the foundation helps strengthen the social infrastructure that enables people to access essential services, develop skills, and participate fully in civic life. The foundation evaluates applications from established charities seeking support for operational costs, program expansion, or special projects that serve residents throughout the region.
