Dufferin Community Foundation announces six local charities receiving grants

Six local charities are receiving grants from $2,000 to $8,250 to support everything from socks for people in need to watershed education for kids.

The funding, most of which will go towards initiatives in 2026, will have a significant impact across our county, making it possible for the charities to pilot new programs or expand existing ones, enrich lives, and enhance culture in our community.
