Support small. Build a city of neighbours.

This year's Good to Give Guide is different. It features some of the smallest organizations we’ve ever funded and recommended to fundholders. Small groups know their communities and draw neighbours together to imagine and build a better future. 

Small organizations often serve the most vulnerable and since COVID the demands on them are greater than ever. But there's more.

Nonprofits are often doing the heavy lifting—without official charitable status because it takes time, energy and money that many groups can't spare. That’s why the sector lobbied to allow funders, such as Toronto Foundation, to directly fund these groups. This year we are thrilled to fund and recommend 9 such nonprofits in addition to the 15 charities featured in the Good to Give Guide.

Get to know and support this year’s 15 charities and 9 nonprofits.
