THE NAOMI & WILLIAM ERNST CHARITABLE FOUNDATION

The Naomi & William Ernst Charitable Foundation distributes grants to organizations serving the Toronto and Greater Toronto Area communities. The foundation supports nonprofits working across community services, with a focus on addressing local needs through funding and partnerships.
