Join the Founding Circle

This is the very beginning of the Mississippi Mills Community Fund. Our goal is to raise the first $50,000 as a community and to recognize the early believers who help make it happen.

When you give during this inaugural campaign, you become part of the Founding Circle.

What it means to be in the Founding Circle:

Caring community. Lasting impact

Help build Mississippi Mills’ new Community Fund as we work toward our first $50,000. Every gift, of any size, helps create a permanent source of support for the places and people we love.

Why a community fund, and why now?

Mississippi Mills is a place where neighbours look out for each other. From Almonte to Pakenham, Appleton to Clayton and Blakeney, we rally when someone needs a hand.

The Mississippi Mills Community Fund is a way to turn that neighbourly spirit into something permanent. By building this endowment together, we’re creating a local “savings account” for the community—one that will support charities and projects here at home for generations to come.

This first $50,000 is our launch pad. It’s our chance to say: we’re planning ahead, investing locally, and making sure Mississippi Mills continues to thrive.

“The Mississippi Mills Community Fund is about neighbours helping neighbours. This grassroots initiative turns today’s generosity into lasting impact. Every gift, big or small, helps strengthen our community for generations to come. “
Christa Lowry
Mayor of Mississippi Mills
