Koinonia Charitable Trust

Koinonia Charitable Trust distributes grants to nonprofit organizations across Toronto and the GTA that address poverty, homelessness, and social isolation. The foundation supports grassroots groups providing direct assistance through food programs, emergency shelters, mental health services, and community development initiatives. By funding organizations led by people with lived experience of marginalization, Koinonia seeks to strengthen the effectiveness and reach of local anti-poverty work. The foundation prioritizes applications from smaller nonprofits that often struggle to access traditional funding sources, helping to build a stronger network of community-based support throughout the region.
