Community Foundations of Canada is excited to launch the SDG Guidebook and Toolkit for community foundations.This package provides a detailed introduction to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the context of community foundation engagement and philanthropy. It provides practical, real-life examples of SDG-based work in local community foundations, as well as ideas and steps for aligning current community foundation work with the SDGs.

Over the past few years, CFC has been working to explore and better understand the intersections of the SDGs with ongoing programming and initiatives. As part of these efforts, they connected the SDGs to Vital Signs, furthered their work with  Alliance2030 through a collaborative podcast, No Little Plans, and launched The SDG Learning Community, a six-part webinar series on SDGs and community foundations, among other collaborations and learning opportunities. 

The SDG Guidebook and Toolkit is a place to continue this conversation and support local community foundations as they begin to address this subject in their own projects. CFC is excited to continue to explore the SDGs further over the course of this year, and look forward to sharing more information with their network.
