Community Foundations of Canada

**Our Purpose** ***Community Foundations of Canada (CFC) is the national leadership organization for Canada’s [over 200 local community foundations](https://communityfoundations.ca/find-a-community-foundation/). Together with community foundations across the country, we help drive local solutions for national change on the issues that matter most to communities. We’re building a movement that connects [community foundations](https://communityfoundations.ca/find-a-community-foundation/), people and [partners](https://communityfoundations.ca/our-partners/) to create a just, sustainable future.*** Our programming targets pressing social issues in Canada, including [youth engagement](https://communityfoundations.ca/initiatives/rbc-future-launch/), [gender equality](https://communityfoundations.ca/initiatives/national-efforts-to-advance-gender-equality/), support for entrepreneurship and [social innovation](https://communityfoundations.ca/initiatives/the-investment-readiness-fund/), and community-level connections with the United Nations [Sustainable Development Goals](https://communityfoundations.ca/topics/sdgs/) (SDGs), among many other topics. In addition to our thematic programming, we also host a bi-annual national conference for community and private foundations, run the country’s [largest community-driven data program](https://communityfoundations.ca/initiatives/vital-signs/), and host [The Learning Institute](https://communityfoundations.ca/about-learning-institute/), a resource centre for local foundations which provides programming guides, webinars, and events.
