Silstar Foundation

Silstar Foundation distributes grants to nonprofits across Toronto and the GTA that address poverty, homelessness, food insecurity, and access to basic services. The foundation identifies organizations doing frontline work in community support and provides financial resources to expand their programs and reach more vulnerable residents. By funding established charities rather than operating programs directly, Silstar amplifies the work of groups already embedded in neighborhoods, helping them purchase equipment, hire staff, improve facilities, or launch new initiatives. The foundation prioritizes grants to agencies serving people experiencing poverty, with particular focus on families, seniors, and individuals facing housing instability or health crises.
