This weekly round-up shares the latest from Innisfil Community Foundation (ICF), updates from our grantees, and news from across our community.
The latest from ICF
- ICYMI, we posted this article earlier in the week, sharing everything you want to know about your new community foundation. In the article, we asked charities to tell us what kinds of needs they are seeing in the community. But we also want to hear from you – what needs are you seeing in your neighbourhood or social circle? Reach out and tell us what you’re experiencing – because the more we know, the more we can find ways to help. Send your insights to info@innisfilcommunityfoundation.ca
Grantee Updates

- C4K wants to remind you that it’s okay to take help when you need it. COVID-19 has impacted us all in different ways.
