What We Do
“Helping Kids be Kids” is what we do!
Application Funding
Georgina Cares lends a helping hand to Georgina residents who are going through a temporary situation. For example, if a parent lost their job, Georgina Cares would step in to cover the cost of hockey for the year so the kids could continue to play and not feel the effects what the family was going through. It allows "kids to be kids" despite what is happening at home.
In order to be considered for our regular funding, an application must be filled out, either online or you may pick up readily available forms at many Town of Georgina buildings such as all library branches and arenas.
Compassion Fund
When a family in Georgina, especially one raising children, faces an unexpected crisis like a medical emergency, a tragic accident, or the loss of a loved one, the Georgina Cares Compassion Fund may be able to help.
This fund offers one-time financial assistance to families with children experiencing sudden, life-altering events. It’s not just about support it’s about compassion, connection, and showing families they’re not alone.
Know a Family in Need? Let Us Know
If you’re aware of a family going through a difficult time, we encourage you to share their story with us. Nominations are confidential and reviewed with care and sensitivity.
Ways to nominate:
- Submit a Compassion Fund Nomination Form
- Email us at [email protected]
- Call or Text (289) 338-3863 to connect with someone who can guide you through the process
Please note: Submitting a nomination does not guarantee funding, but it ensures the family’s situation is considered with the compassion and attention it deserves.
