THE WERTHINGTON FOUNDATION

The Werthington Foundation provides grants and financial support to community service organizations across Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area. The foundation identifies nonprofits working on urgent local needs such as housing assistance, food security, youth programs, and support for vulnerable populations, then allocates funding to strengthen their capacity and expand their reach. By distributing resources to vetted organizations already embedded in their communities, the foundation helps amplify existing efforts rather than duplicating services. The foundation's grantmaking process emphasizes supporting groups that demonstrate clear outcomes and genuine connection to the populations they serve.
