Toronto Community Foundation uses a unique business model to meet its mission

By Heather Fletcher

We begin by taking the pulse of the city through our Toronto's Vital Signs Report. The report is a consolidated snapshot examining issue areas that are critical to the well-being of our city and its residents.

With our unique position as an independent public foundation, we are then able to mobilize hundreds of individual and family donors who are members of our foundation family, high-impact community organizations and cross-sector leaders to tackle complex quality-of-life issues identified in Toronto's Vital Signs in creative and inspiring ways.
