Our History

The Port Credit Community Foundation is the beneficiary of a $3 million endowment from FRAM Building Group and Slokker Real Estate Group, representing the developer’s contribution to underwriting community amenities in the Port Credit area.

A Port Credit Community Foundation Task Force was created in 2008 to frame a vision for the best use of the endowment funds to the benefit of present and future residents in the community.

On August 6, 2009, The Port Credit Community Foundation was incorporated as a not-for-profit corporation.
