Mississippi Mills Community Fund
It’s our way of saying: we care about this place and the people who call it home. Together, we’re building a legacy of generosity, resilience, and opportunity that will ripple through generations.
Every gift is a seed. Every story is a spark. This is how we shape the future—one act of community at a time.
A Mississippi Mills where opportunity is shared, voices are heard, and community spirit is alive in every corner.
Trust. Collaboration. Sustainability. Local Leadership, Long-Term Thinking.
Our goal is to raise the first $50,000 as a community and to recognize the early believers who help make it happen.
Every donation is pooled and invested, with the income from those investments granted to local organizations and initiatives in Mississippi Mills.
We are proud to be housed under the Ottawa Community Foundation (OCF). This partnership provides us with expert fund management, governance, and grant administration, while allowing our fund to remain locally driven and community focused.
The Mississippi Mills Community Fund in partnership with PuppetsUp! is pleased to announce the creation of a new endowment fund to support the Noreen Young Award for the Arts. This fund will provide an annual award of $1,000 to support a Mississippi Mills student pursuing post-secondary education in the arts (puppetry, visual, media, performing, or related artistic endeavours).
APPLICATIONS HAVE CLOSED FOR 2025.
