Our vision is to inspire philanthropy to benefit our community today and forever by attracting and
managing legacy funds, making grants to support local programs, and bringing community partners
together. As leaders in community philanthropy we help to identify and fill needs by supporting charities
with our funding and expertise. Our annual Community Impact Grants provide funding for projects which
forge partnerships, tackle important issues and make a lasting impact on the Windsor-Essex Community.
We also offer Fast-Track Grants and KidStart Grants, which allow us to be more responsive to community
needs. In addition, WECF allows donors to make the most of charitable giving through endowment
building. Through our collective strength, we engage community leaders and stakeholders to expand our
reach and impact in the community. We also offer a number of relevant community engagement
initiatives including Random Act of Kindness Day and the Vital Signs Program.
