About the Fund

The Mississippi Mills Community Fund is a permanent, endowed fund that supports community needs—now and for generations to come.

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.

What Makes It Special?

It’s by us, for us—driven by the hopes and heart of Mississippi Mills
It’s built to last—your gift grows and gives again, year after year
It’s fuel for future changemakers—supporting the arts, environment, youth, seniors, and more
