“Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap,
 but by the seeds you plant.”

–Robert Louis Stevenson

Our Story

The Italian-Canadian Community Foundation was created in 1975 by visionary members of the Italian community who sought to foster change and positive growth close to home. The founders were Alfredo Campo, Hon. Pietro Rizzuto and Marc Donolo.

Since its inception, the Foundation has donated over $25 million to over 150 organizations. Thanks to the support and philanthropic efforts of our donors, we have been able to support the needs of the community and create partnerships with institutions for various projects.
