Kawartha Community Foundation celebrates Social Sustainability Fund recipients

Supported by the City of Kawartha Lakes, the Social Sustainability Fund helps organizations respond to community needs through practical, community-led projects. This year’s initiatives address food security, mental health, youth development, creative learning and inclusive programming.
The gathering offered participants an opportunity to discuss their projects, exchange ideas and explore ways to support one another’s work.
Organizations involved in this year’s funded initiatives include:
- Kawartha Lakes Makerspace
- Kawartha-Haliburton Children’s Foundation
- New Canadians Centre
- The Grove Theatre
- BGC Kawarthas
- Humane Society of Kawartha Lakes
- Big Brothers Big Sisters of Kawartha Lakes–Haliburton
- John Howard Society of the Kawarthas
- Kawartha Lakes Food Source
These organizations are among the recipients working to improve access to resources, create opportunities and strengthen belonging across Kawartha Lakes.
Kawartha Community Foundation thanks the City of Kawartha Lakes for supporting the fund, and the staff, volunteers and partners bringing these projects to life.
