To our Donors, Fundholders, Charity Partners, Volunteers and Ambassadors,
"25 years of NCF!"
This was our tagline this year as we celebrated our quarter century anniversary. It was a year full of celebrations, recognitions, partnerships, milestones and growth. We are overwhelmed with gratitude for all your support as we marked 25 years of philanthropy in Niagara.
25 year of NCF has resulted in:
- ENDOWEMENT: Growing from $200,000 to surpassing $97M in assets
- EMPOWERMENT: Granting $9000 in our first year to over $4.5M in 2025
- EXCELLENCE: Partnering with a handful of organizations, to receiving the 2025 Community Partner Award presented by AFP Golden Horseshoe at the National Philanthropy Day Celebration
This has all been made possible because of YOU. It is thanks of the 400+ fundholders, countless volunteers and constellation of community partners that together, we are able to turn intent into impact here in Niagara. THANK YOU!
As we wrap up this year, we invite you to take a trip down memory lane with our interactive online timeline on our website and a video going through a collection of photos from throughout the years. Thank you for being a part of the NCF community and cheers to the next 25!
