Our Donors and Funding Partners
Brant Waterways Foundation’s strong relationships with its generous donors and funding partners are essential to the success of the projects we support and the impact they have on our local communities in Brantford, Brant Count, and Six Nations of the Grand River. Simply put, we couldn’t do what we do without them!
We are pleased to recognize the financial support of our benefactors, supporters and friends
To date our Trails Improvement & River Access (TIRA) campaign has raised more than $500,000 for game-changing projects that will protect our ecosystems, promote first-class outdoor recreational opportunities and improve the health and well-being of people in Brantford, Brant County and Six Nations of the Grand River. We recognize and thank all our generous and visionary donors.
