Making Change
At its heart, Barrie Community Foundation believes that the future of Barrie belongs to all of us. By bringing together resources, knowledge, and relationships, it helps unlock greater impact than any individual or organization could achieve alone. It opens doors to collaboration, inspires generosity, and strengthens the connections that create a true sense of belonging.
As part of a national network of community foundations across Canada, Barrie Community Foundation serves as a trusted partner in understanding local challenges, mobilizing community resources, supporting charitable organizations, and investing in solutions that enhance quality of life. Together with donors, fundholders, community partners, and residents, it works to build lasting community wealth and wellbeing—ensuring that Barrie continues to thrive as a compassionate, inclusive, and resilient city for generations to come.
As a community foundation, we understand Barrie – from the local issues and needs to the agencies doing the best work to address these issues, to the people and organizations who are teaming up to make change possible.
