Community impact starts with access.

Through support from the Stratford and Perth County Community Foundation, organizations like the YMCA of Three Rivers can continue creating opportunities for people to participate, connect and thrive.

YMCA programs in Stratford and St. Marys include day camp, free youth programming, health and wellness supports and other services designed to help people feel a sense of belonging. Funding can help reduce financial barriers through fee assistance, support inclusive camp experiences and help keep youth programs free and accessible.

This is what community giving can make possible: stronger access to the programs and supports that help people of all ages feel connected to their community.

Want to make a difference in Perth County but not sure where to start?

You may know you want your giving to stay local, but choosing where to direct it can feel overwhelming.

We understand the local charitable landscape, the organizations doing important work and the needs emerging across Perth County. That local knowledge can help you explore giving opportunities that reflect what matters most to you.

You bring the desire to make a difference.

We help connect it to meaningful local impact.

A couple of years ago, Andrea was facing an unsafe home situation and trying to navigate housing, school, finances and what would come next.

With support from Shelterlink Youth Services, she found stability, stayed in school, kept working, returned to sports and received practical help with transportation, housing applications and financial supports.

Today, Andrea is a 2026 graduate.

“One of the biggest things is that I’m graduating, which is something I’m really proud of because there were times I honestly didn’t know if I would make it this far.”

Support from Stratford and Perth County Community Foundation helps organizations like Shelterlink provide the day-to-day resources and trusted relationships that can make a meaningful difference for young people in our community.

Andrea’s story is a powerful example of what that support can help make possible.

Helping people leave a legacy in the community that shaped their lives.

For many, charitable giving is closely connected to place. They may want to give back to the community where they built a business, raised a family, formed lasting relationships or found a sense of belonging.

Stratford and Perth County Community Foundation brings local knowledge and strong community connections to the conversation. We help people explore giving options that reflect their values and create meaningful, lasting support for Perth County.
