Share: TORONTO, Dec. 10, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As the next step in its fast-evolving social impact journey, Green Shield Canada (GSC) is pleased to announce $4 million of funding to six new Community Foundation partnerships. These new partnerships – with Kitchener Waterloo Community Foundation, Ottawa Community Foundation, Foundation of Greater Montreal, Toronto Foundation, Fondation Quebec Philanthrope, and Haida Gwaii Community Foundation – double GSC's network across Canada to 12 Community Foundations and a total of $10 million of funding. As with the $6 million that GSC invested in six Community Foundations in 2018 to celebrate the organization's 60-year history of social impact and charitable giving, this latest funding will be primarily directed to community programs aimed at improving access to oral and mental health care – the two core focus areas of GSC's Social Impact Program. GSC and Community Foundations will now also consider the impact of COVID-19 and look to bring an equity lens to the granting process.
