What does the Community Foundation of Nova Scotia do?
In simple terms, our business is building community. We do this in three main ways:
- Endowment Building/Donor Service – We establish and maintain endowment funds to support registered charities and provide personalized, flexible, cost-effective services to the donors and families associated with these funds.
- Grantmaking – We engage in strategic grantmaking which has a good potential for high impact.
- Community Convening and Leadership – We act as a catalyst for change by bringing people and organizations together to convene community dialogues and build partnerships to address local issues and leverage opportunities.
