How to Give

The Community Foundation of Greater Peterborough (CFGP) offers a full range of gift-giving options. Establishing a fund is simple and often provides significant tax benefits. A donor may also always make a contribution to CFGP by contributing to an existing fund. Outlined below are the steps to follow to support CFGP and / or one of its funds.

1. Establish a Fund:

      • Community Fund
