Grant Opportunities

The Community Impact Program (formerly the Smart & Caring Program) is rooted in a simple but powerful idea: when a community comes together, it can shape a stronger future for everyone.

Created by Huronia Community Foundation’s Board of Directors and fueled by the generosity of local donors, the program transforms compassion into action. Through grants to registered charities and other qualified donees, it supports projects that respond to real needs and create lasting impact across Midland, Penetanguishene, Tiny Township, Tay Township, and Beausoleil First Nation.

At its heart, the Community Impact Program transforms generosity into real and lasting change. Each grant helps bring ideas to life, supporting initiatives that respond to local needs and enrich the lives of people across the area. Through every project, the program helps build a stronger, more connected community where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

Every gift to the Foundation tells a story of care, connection, and commitment to place. Whether from individuals, families, or businesses, these contributions are pooled into endowed funds that continue giving back year after year.

Together, we are building a community where people feel supported, possibilities are expanded, and everyone has the chance to thrive.
