Health and Homelessness
Fund For Change
London is facing one of the most dire crises in our community’s history. That’s not hyperbole or spin. That’s the truth. Seeded by the most historic gift to homelessness in London’s history – a $25 million dollar donation from a generous anonymous donor family – now is the time to give and be part of a generational legacy for our community.

A Commitment to Practices that Promote Reconciliation and Speaking the Truth
We want to speak to an important relationship, that is between ourselves and the Indigenous peoples of today and the past. These lands and the waters have been stewarded by Indigenous peoples for many thousands of years holding Mother Earth and all that is found in the natural world in the highest esteem. We share a responsibility for these lands and waters. We will take that responsibility seriously and will act accordingly.
We recognize the harms that are done by colonialism, past and continuing, and want our words and actions to counter these harms.
As we, the London Community Foundation, its volunteers, staff, and donors live and work on these traditional lands of the Anishinaabek, Haudenosaunee, Lūnaapéewak, and Attawandaron Nations, we wish to engage in, and inspire action and commitment towards Reconciliation. To us, this means in our decisions and through our actions we want to build relationships with Indigenous communities. As well, we want to set an example for all our partners and friends. This means speaking the Truth and building a better world where Indigenous peoples feel at home to live their lives, build their cultures, and prosper.
