Raising Communities Together: A Community Fund Model that Works

Local Oversight & Local Impact with a Real-World Tested Approach*. For Good. Forever.

The Community Vitality Fund Approach – Municipality Inspiring Growth & Leading Change

  • Municipality to direct available funds in Municipal budgets to establish a Community Vitality Fund with the Sunset Community Foundation creating sustainable and lasting community impact.
  • Fund investment returns to be granted back into the Community with local direction.
  • Administration and granting for the fund is managed by the Sunset Community Foundation in collaboration with local advocates who form a local Community Advisory Committee.

The Multiplier Effect

  • Inspire families in the community to leave a lasting legacy with Family Funds to complement the Community Fund supported by the local Community Advisory Committee.
  • Continuous growth of funds through year over year additions to the Funds.

Governance

  • A local Community Advisory Committee identifies community needs and oversees local granting and relationship development processes.
  • Sunset Community Foundation provides Administrative, Compliance, Financial and Governance structures and support with a cost effective model.
  • Local Community Advocate serves as a Board Director for Sunset Community Foundation acting as a liaison between the Committee and Board.

Getting Started with a Community Fund

  • A donation of $50,000 can create a Community Vitality Fund or a Donor Advised Fund with the opportunity to provide more specific direction on granting.
  • Donations from families, individuals, groups or businesses of $15,000 or more start a Fund supported by a Fund Agreement to define intentions, geography and fields of interest.
  • Appoint a Local Community Advocate to be the key connection with the Sunset Community Foundation to initiate local operations.

For Good. Forever.

South Huron Testimonials

South Huron Vitality Fund

Mayor George Finch

Our region is a natural paradise with many warm and lively communities. We are all very fortunate to live here. Giving back to your community through the Sunset Community Foundation can be very rewarding. Your donations enable us to make more grants to local charities, supporting projects that help the most vulnerable and build new opportunities for all.  Gifts through the Foundation become part of a permanent fund that continues to give year after year.  It’s a way to make a difference in your community, now and for many years to come.

Down Family Fund

Bob Down

You could give back to the community because of what the community has given to you. It’s
like when you throw a pebble into a pond and the ripples expand out from it. I hope these ripples
will encourage other families and businesses to start similar funds to support our community.

Prout Family Fund

Tom Prout

“This is an opportunity for organizations to receive financial support for innovative ideas to
strengthen the community. These South Huron Funds will make a difference for many years to
come.”
