London Community Foundation, its volunteers, staff, and donors live and work on the traditional lands of the Anishinaabek, Haudenosaunee, Lūnaapéewak, and Attawandaron Nations. We wish to engage in and inspire action and commitment towards Reconciliation. To us, this means in our decisions and through our actions we want to build relationships with Indigenous communities.
