Helping L&A County thrive today and always

Founded in 1987 with a gift from the estate of Napanee businessman Edgar Creighton Hogarth, the Community Foundation for Lennox & Addington provides funding to support local people, charities, and organizations. Our Foundation acts as a community ambassador, connecting donors to the causes they’re passionate about while also exploring the needs of the community to better understand where support is most needed. Unlike single-purpose charities, the Community Foundation provides funding to multiple causes with a focus on enriching the quality of life for those who live, work in, and enjoy the community we love.

Arts & Culture
Education & Lifelong Learning
