History SCF:
The Sudbury Charities Foundation (SCF) was incorporated on October 26, 1994 by a group of local businessmen looking to leverage their position in the community to raise funds for local charities struggling to help our underprivileged youth. The working board at SCF operates without regular staff ensuring the most of every dollar raised is put back into the community.
The Foundation has historically operated two major annual fundraisers, the Festival of Lights hosted at Science North and the Men’s Annual Gourmet Dinner. Recently the board has added the Golf 4 Hope event. These three events have combined to raise over $215,000 annually.
The Foundation’s success has resulted in nearly $250,000 distributed to partners locally in 2022-2023 for the benefit of local underprivileged youth. The Sudbury Manitoulin Children’s Foundation “Send A Kid To Camp” program has been the largest beneficiary, receiving in excess of $60,000 in 2023 alone. These funds have sent over 5,600 children to camp since 1984! Other organizations supported by the Foundation include the following:
Ten Rainbows Foundation
Childhood Enfance
The Salvation Army
Sudbury Food Bank
Infant Food Bank
Miles Against Cancer
Inner City Homes of Sudbury
NEO Kids Foundation
Our Children Our Future
