Algoma Community Foundation
The Algoma Community Foundation (ACF) is a registered Canadian charity (Business Registration Number: 751516931RR0001) established in 2021 to serve the Algoma District of Ontario. It focuses on sustainable philanthropy by addressing regional needs through grants, collaborations, and community-driven initiatives[3][5].
History
Founded after years of community planning, the ACF emerged as Algoma was previously the largest Canadian region without a community foundation[5]. Local leaders and residents identified the need for a centralized philanthropic body to address systemic challenges and support grassroots organizations. Public consultations shaped its vision, emphasizing inclusivity and long-term social impact[5].
Mission and Activities
The foundation aims to foster "lasting change and loving relations" by prioritizing social justice, strategic investments, and partnerships[1][2]. It distributes funds to local organizations, with over $1.3 million granted since its inception[5]. Key focus areas include:
- Mental health initiatives, particularly youth-oriented programs[5].
- Support for social purpose organizations, such as the Investment Readiness Program[5].
- Collaborative grants with partners like Green Shield Canada[5].
Governance and Recognition
ACF operates as a community foundation, a model used across Canada to mobilize local resources and convene stakeholders around regional issues[3]. It acknowledges the traditional territories of the Anishinaabek Nation, seven sovereign First Nations, and the Sault Ste. Marie Métis Settlement, emphasizing reconciliation and treaty responsibilities[1].
Funding and Impact
Grants combine locally raised funds with external contributions, targeting urgent needs such as pandemic recovery and underserved populations[5]. The foundation emphasizes transparency and participatory decision-making, reflecting its grassroots origins[1][5].

The Algoma Community Foundation Creating lasting change and loving relations for generations to come. All our relations. We wish to acknowledge that the land on which the Algoma Community Foundation activates our philanthropy is the traditional territory of the Anishinaabek Nation. Over several millennia the Anishinaabe and their ancestors have imparted significant democratic economic and spiritual histories upon these lands grounded within a cultural pedagogy of interconnectedness inclusion and reciprocity.
