Join Our Board

Sarnia Community Foundation is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors who guide our mission of connecting generous donors with the causes and organizations shaping our community's future.

Our Board members bring their time, expertise, and community connections to help steward permanent endowments and flow-through funds, oversee prudent investment management, and support donor relations and grant-making across Sarnia-Lambton.
