The West Hants Community Fund was established to provide a way for all of us to contribute to the community we love and to help ensure our needs are addressed both now and into the future.
Established in 2018
About our fund
Our community funds is focused on the area of Hants West. This fund has been established to offer current and former residents of the area the opportunity to make donations, large and small, to a fund that will grow over time and continually support locally led giving and action to address local priorities.
Prior to the development of this fund, we conducted a Vital Signs® report that pulls together secondary information to help identify the realities, challenges and opportunities in our area. Our intent is to use this report for strategic decision-making and to inspire local action and collaboration among businesses, non-profits, charities, governments, and individual citizens.
You can view the West Hants Vital Signs report here.
