St. Andrew's Charitable Foundation

St. Andrew's Charitable Foundation distributes grants to community organizations across Toronto and the surrounding region that address poverty, social isolation, and unmet basic needs. The foundation supports programs in food security, affordable housing, mental health services, and youth development, prioritizing organizations that work directly with vulnerable populations. Grants range from small project funding to larger multi-year commitments, allowing the foundation to support both emerging initiatives and established services. The foundation accepts applications year-round and conducts thorough grant reviews to ensure funds reach organizations with demonstrated impact and strong financial management. Staff provide guidance to applicants throughout the process, recognizing that many smaller charities lack dedicated fundraising expertise. By strategically directing resources to areas with significant community need, St. Andrew's helps strengthen the social safety net in Toronto.
