Amherstburg Community Foundation

Making Amherstburg the best small town in Ontario to live, visit and enjoy! The Amherstburg Community Foundation will enhance the quality of life and assist in meeting the needs of the Town of Amherstburg, its residents and its visitors by maintaining a charitable fund and applying those funds to those initiatives which benefit directly or indirectly those who make this town their home or choose to make it their vacation destination. 

Striving to become the BEST small town in Ontario is a bold ambition but one that is achievable - by building upon the momentum generated by the Town’s tourism department in recent years and encouraging stakeholders, businesses and residents alike to invest in our future for the good of all.
