The Katie Macdonald Foundation for a Better World

The Katie Macdonald Foundation for a Better World distributes grants to community service organizations across Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area that address poverty, housing insecurity, and social isolation. The foundation identifies nonprofits doing direct work with vulnerable populations, from food banks and shelter operators to programs serving seniors and people experiencing homelessness. By providing financial support to established and emerging charities, the foundation helps these organizations expand their capacity to serve more people in their communities. The foundation's grantmaking focuses on practical interventions that reduce immediate hardship while building pathways toward stability and dignity for those facing systemic barriers.
