For the causes you love and the places you call home.

Working with the Community Foundation of Nova Scotia (CFNS) is like having your own charitable foundation but it’s easier, faster, and more cost-effective. 

Opening a Fund within CFNS is faster, easier, and more cost-effective than creating a private foundation, while offering the same tax advantages and opportunity for impact in communties across Nova Scotia and beyond. While you focus on your vision, we manage the administrative heavy lifting, including CRA compliance, investment management, and much more.
