"They also answered our call to increase belonging and wellbeing, through projects in the arts, recreation, food security, education, and support for mental health and addiction."

Those are the words of Stacy GKelly, executive director of the Community Foundation for Kingston and Area, which has awarded $329,755 in grants to 26 community service organizations in the Canadian province of Ontario.

The money will be used to support projects that include arts and culture, children's mental health, community development, education, environment, health and social services, heritage preservation, recreation, and youth, the CBC reports.

The projects are expected to directly impact 22,139 individuals, including 7,689 youth.

"The breadth and scope of our Spring 2024 grants recipients reflect our community's innovative responses to both urgent needs and emerging opportunities to help build resilience, whether that is for children and youth, for seniors, for Indigenous peoples, or for other equity-deserving groups," GKelly says in a release.
