Overview

Background We support giving in three main areas: Social Services The KM Hunter Foundation is committed to supporting a number of smaller institutions where our grants can have a larger impact. The Arts Within the cultural section of the foundation, we support organizations that reflect the disciplines of Visual Art, Music, Dance, Literature, Film and Video and Theatre. Environment Within the Environmental portfolio, we support three areas: Protection of wildlife species, stewardship of the land, and organizations that fight to change the laws so that environmental areas can be protected. All organizations must be based in Ontario. International Development and Relief We have a small International development section in our Social Services portfolio that goes to AIDS Relief in Africa as well as advocating for LGBTQIA2SS+ rights around the world. Within all three portfolios, we are committed to supporting organizations dedicated to helping those who are marginalized, including the homeless, disadvantaged youth, women, aboriginal voices, the LGBTQ community, and preserving and protecting habitat for endangered species in Ontario. We do not support any other Medical research or International organizations with the exception of these two programs.
