A huge thank you to the Women’s Invitational at the Brockville Country Club for choosing the Brockville & Area Community Foundation as their charity of choice this year! ⛳️

Their tournament in June raised an amazing $3,500 for our Community Fund and that gift was MATCHED, doubling the impact to $7,000 for our community!

And we are thrilled to share that we’ll be their charity of choice again next year! We’re so grateful for this continued partnership and can’t wait to see what Year Two brings! 🏌️

This is what community foundations do. 🧡

We build permanent endowments that support our communities today, tomorrow, and for generations to come. Every gift is an investment in opportunities we can’t predict yet and that’s exactly the point.

Here’s to a new chapter of community impact.

A Legacy Continues. A Future Strengthened. 🧡

Today, we are honoured to announce that the Ross W. McNeil Foundation is partnering with the Brockville & Area Community Foundation.

Beginning in 2026, the Ross McNeil Foundation’s charitable assets will transition to the BACF as the NEW McNeil / Earle Endowment Fund, ensuring its legacy of generosity continues to benefit our community for generations to come.

Adding even greater impact to this milestone, an anonymous donor has committed to matching this transition, doubling the future granting power of the fund.

We are beyond honoured by the trust placed in the BACF and look forward to carrying this remarkable legacy forward.

To our charity partners! This fall, Ross W. MacNeill Foundation grants will be available through BACF’s well-known grant application process. No new system, no extra hoops - just apply as you always have.

🧡 Together, we are building a stronger community today and for generations to come. This partnership will help create even more opportunities to support local charities and the people they serve for years to come.
