Sarnia Community Foundation

We believe that we can make a difference

Since 1983, Sarnia Community Foundation has dispersed over $14,000,000 into the Sarnia-Lambton community.

It is truly rewarding to work in the community of Sarnia-Lambton that truly believes in giving back. We’re here to help.

Letter from the Executive Director

As we welcome 2026, we’re taking a moment to reflect on the accomplishments and shared efforts that shaped 2025. Over the past year, the Sarnia Community Foundation (SCF) continued to build on its commitment to strengthening Lambton County community, directing over $1.1 million in support of grants, scholarships and community projects and having the generosity of the over 300 donors helped make Lambton County a better place to live.

We added a brilliant Fund Developer, Amy Veysey. Amy has made an immediate impact in SCF Donor Engagement, Social Media and overall positive energy.

We were honoured to deepen relationships with long-standing partners and to form new connections with individuals and organizations eager to make a difference. This collective spirit of generosity and collaboration continues to show how powerful our community can be when we work toward a common purpose and collaborate.

Looking ahead to 2026, we are energized by the opportunities before us. We’re excited to continue partnering with you—our donors, supporters, and community champions—as we strive to build a more inclusive future for everyone in Lambton County.

Thank you for keeping SCF in charitable giving and for believing in the impact we can create together.

2026 scholarship applications at the SCF will be opening in early 2026! We’re excited to support our community's scholars, alongside our Partners in Philanthropy — be sure to follow SCF on social media and keep an eye out for the official announcements with full details on how to apply.

If you would like to meet to learn more about SCF or set up a fund/scholarship, please contact SCF offices at 519 332-2588 or visit our website sarniacommunityfoundation.ca

Wishing you a year filled with health, happiness, and strength.

We’re here to support our community
