We were ready to face new challenges, to support more solutions and begin facing our new normal. COVID-19 vaccinations were rolled out and we took slow but sure steps to reopening.<\/p><p>However, as the year progressed and new waves of different COVID-19 variants appeared in our community and in others coast-to-coast, we adjusted.<\/p><p>At The Foundation, we engaged in another year of remote work, remote programming and remote events but together with our volunteers, Fundholders and donors, we were able to accomplish a number of exciting initiatives and fund important solutions. If anything, the pandemic has shown us how important it is to continue to work together.<\/p><p>After a rollercoaster year in 2020, our investments closed at +14.3% in 2021 which helped our Fundholders meet their granting priorities and the charity agencies co-invested in our Investment Pool meet their budgets. The Foundation granted more than $4 million throughout the year. In addition to this granting, we also stewarded $1.8 million through two rounds of granting for the Canada Healthy Communities Initiative.<\/p><p>We are grateful to our staff, committee and board members, volunteers and Fundholders for their tireless work in making Oakville a community where no one is left behind.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div

together like-minded women eager to make a difference now and in the future.<\/p><p>It was created as a space for women to come together and pool their resources, knowledge and desire to help their community, using the giving circle concept to embrace this social way of giving back.<\/p><p>Now in its fourth year, The Collective has granted $30,000 since inception, having just completed a three-year commitment to Heartache2Hope, a local suicide loss support charity. They are now embarking on a new three-year commitment to the Halton Youth Collective. The Collective is a Community Building Initiative and focuses on providing wraparound support for Youth, 18-24 years old who are leaving the support of the Children\u2019s Aid Society of Halton.
