THE PETER GILGAN FOUNDATION

The Peter Gilgan Foundation provides grants and funding to organizations addressing poverty, homelessness, and social inequality across Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area. The foundation supports programs that deliver direct assistance to vulnerable populations, including housing initiatives, food security projects, and wraparound services for people experiencing hardship. By distributing resources to vetted nonprofits working on the ground, the foundation helps expand access to essential supports and infrastructure that strengthen communities. The organization focuses on grants that produce measurable outcomes and address root causes of social challenges rather than symptoms alone.
