Giving

Corporate philanthropy

Businesses partner with Hamilton Community Foundation to optimize the efficiency and effectiveness of their charitable giving, allowing more time for the company to focus on community impact and employee engagement.

Do you want to ensure the greatest impact from your corporate giving?

HCF staff are up-to-date on current issues and the related best practices to help you direct your donations and achieve the greatest return on your investment.

We manage all financial, reporting and due diligence aspects with the charity, while you have the benefit of seeing your donation at work and being recognized for your company’s philanthropy.  This includes accepting donations, tax receipting and sending grants to charities.

Is your company deluged by requests for support?

Charitable giving through your HCF fund lets you direct solicitations to us. We can receive, review and organize requests, present you with proposals that best match your interests, and manage the process efficiently and professionally.

Is your company new to Hamilton?  Or are you leaving the area after many successful years of operation?

In either case, Hamilton Community Foundation can be a useful resource. What better way to announce your arrival and interest in supporting the Hamilton community than to establish a fund at HCF. Similarly, establishing a permanent fund at HCF provides a lasting legacy as your company winds down its operations here.

Read about the Pioneer Energy Fund, the Fengate Community Foundation Fund, and the ArcelorMittal Dofasco Fund, which are corporations partnering with HCF.
