The Brant Community Foundation: Established in 1997, the Brant Community Foundation (BCF) is a grant-making public registered charity focused on ensuring a good quality of life for those living in Brant County, including Brantford, the Six Nations and Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. We build community vitality now and for future generations by encouraging endowment building and facilitating philanthropic partnerships across the region. The Foundation is part of a national network, the Community Foundations of Canada, whose 190 foundations make an impact at the local level. At the Community Foundation, we play three key roles: Endowment Building: We work with donors as community builders, by matching their philanthropic interests with community needs. Gifts made today establish endowments that support registered charities in perpetuity. Grant Making: Grants are made to agencies whose work impacts our community in real and tangible ways and contributes to a good quality of life. We are a 360-degree granter - from shelter and sustenance to health and education, from arts and culture to preserving heritage and the environment, grant monies are put into action by worthy charities that contribute to making our region a vital and thriving community. Community Convening: We bring the community together to share knowledge that strengthens philanthropy and better responds to the changing needs of our city. Our Vital Signs publication explores key indicators on the health of our community, and our Vital Conversations provide the opportunity for community experts to share information on trends, issues and potential solutions on critical topics that are of concern to our community.
