DURHAM COMMUNITY FOUNDATION:

Durham Community Foundation serves the community as a fund developer, fund manager and grantmaker.  A registered charity and member of the Community Foundations of Canada, the Durham Community Foundation grants approximately $50,000 each year to eligible organizations in Durham region.  In response to a request from FOOTPRINTS for program expansion into Whitby, ON, the Durham Community Foundation seeded the project with funding and as of September 2009, FOOTPRINTS Whitby proudly opened its doors.  On behalf of the families who use our services, FOOTPRINTS wishes to thank Ms. Georgieff, Executive Director, for her championship of our program and to the Foundation for their financial support.

ROTARY CLUB OF PICKERING:

Established in 1942, the Rotary Club of Pickering is a volunteer service club of professionals who share a progressive tradition of building social fellowship and of helping to create a better community.  It is with the support of the Rotary Club of Pickering that FOOTPRINTS has been able to revise and redesign its website, making it a more user-friendly environment for our clients and the general public.  This web site redesign also allows us to reach out to many more families and like-minded organizations with our service.  Thank you, all the members of the Rotary Club of Pickering, for your dedication to community and your support of FOOTPRINTS.
