Since 1976, The Greater Saint John Community Foundation has been serving as a trustee of gifts that enhance and strengthen the quality of life in the Greater Saint John area. 

We are a not-for-profit organization dedicated to providing the philanthropic means to move our whole community forward in big ways and small ways, always. By linking caring donors to the needs and interests of our community, together with our partners, we are building a Greater Saint John.

Funds

We specialize in building endowment funds and using the funds’ earnings to support the ever-changing needs and opportunities of Greater Saint John.

Donations to this fund are permanently endowed and annual earnings support the scope and breadth of our community’s needs. All funds stay local and support every corner of Greater Saint John.

Established in memory of Jacob Brown, this fund celebrates his enduring passion for music and commitment to supporting others. This fund ensures that children, regardless of background, receive free musical instruction, instilling confidence, discipline, and joy.

The Gaspar Memorial Animal Support Fund, created in memory of Gaspar, a beloved rescue horse, provides resources to groups rescuing abused and neglected animals. The fund supports veterinary care, transportation, food, and housing improvements, ensuring animals are placed in loving homes.

The Dr. Mary Patricia Donihee Gould Literacy Fund, established in 2024, provides annual grants to support literacy among marginalized children, honoring Patricia's dedication to education and community service.
