What We Do
Small Change Fund empowers you to make big change with small change. We provide a place for you to discover, share, connect with, and support amazing grassroots projects in communities across the country – projects that need just a small amount of money to make a real and significant impact in the world.
We make giving simple.
Call it bottom-up investment, grassroots grant-making, place-based funding, micro-philanthropy. Whatever its name, it’s a new way of giving.
We use the power of the Internet to engage everyone at their own level to share with others. We open up the giving process so you can have a hand in solving the problems you care about most. You read, you choose, you give. Y
ou can give money, you can give time, you can give support. It’s that simple.
We put you in touch.
Did you know that less than 1% percent of Canadian giving goes to grassroots groups and
only a fraction of that goes to support environmental and international causes?
Local projects on the ground are often overlooked, especially when they’re needed most – it’s a funny thing, but tough times and complex challenges are just when small, local solutions make the most difference.
As the only Canadian organization of its kind, Small Change Fund puts you in touch with people on the ground, people who are best able to figure out and fix the problems in their communities

Environmental Education Manager,
Paul Tucker, from
EcoSpark. The video was made as part of a
Toronto Digital Storytelling workshop funded by
Green Street.
The story was made in response to the question: "Why you do you do what you do?"
The school gardens at Winchester Jr. & Sr. P.S. and Rose Ave. P.S. in the spring and summer of 2010, in east downtown Toronto.
Featuring: spring programs, the after-school program at Riverdale Farm with students from Regent Park,
evening garden drop-in with families in the summer and youth green jobs.
See how engaging people in growing food has multiple tangible and intangible benefits!
Our school food garden projects are about kids and their grownups, plants and their people.
