Join us in Building a Stronger Waterloo Region
Imagine a community where everyone feels connected, supported, and truly at home. That’s the vision behind WRGive, a new online giving platform created by Waterloo Region Community Foundation (WRCF). WRCF has partnered with 8 local organizations, that have each identified meaningful, community-driven projects aligning with themes in WRCF’s 2025 Vital Signs® Report—all aimed at strengthening our region’s social infrastructure.
From September 24 to October 29, you’ll have the opportunity to support these projects directly.
Some are run by registered charities that can offer tax receipts. Others are organizations doing vital work without charitable status—but every dollar you give helps build a more connected community.
Whether you can give $10 or $1,000, your contribution matters. Read about the projects below, and support those you can. Together, we can make sure everyone feels like they belong.
