Deacon Legacy Grants

Deacon Legacy Grants were inspired by our founders, Fraser and Frances Deacon, who made sure that philanthropy would always have a home in Toronto. These multi-year, unrestricted grants supported high-impact local organizations working to reduce social and economic divides.

Deacon Legacy Grants were enabled by the endowments of many donors, past and present, who entrusted Toronto Foundation to steward their philanthropic aspirations. We hope they inspire future donors to leave their legacies in our care.
