Impact Stories
With every donation made through the GSJ Community Foundation, you ignite meaningful change in Greater Saint John.
Explore the impact behind the generosity of our donors and the actions of local charities who continue to strengthen our community.
A Legacy of Remembrance
Noël Kinsella worked tirelessly to ensure that those who served at sea—and those who never came home—would never be forgotten. The Naval Memorial along Harbour Passage exists because of his determination, his persistence, and his belief that remembrance matters.
Serving Those Who Served
As we reflect on five decades of service, this story from Ridgewood Veterans Wing demonstrates how thoughtful community investment strengthens essential services and supports dignity, care, and connection for veterans and the broader community.
Funds
We specialize in building endowment funds and using the funds’ earnings to support the ever-changing needs and opportunities of Greater Saint John.
