Strengthening Port Credit
The Port Credit Community Foundation is a not-for-profit organization created for the people of Port Credit. The Foundation is dedicated to fund a combination of hard investments, charitable endeavors, event support and other community initiatives.
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.
Our Mission
Our mission is to employ the financial resources and expertise available to the Foundation to give back and support community activities and initiatives, to improve community facilities, and to facilitate positive citizen engagement in and around Port Credit.
