Simcoe Community Services Foundation

The Simcoe Community Services Foundation partners directly with Simcoe Community Services (SCS) in supporting adults and children with intellectual disabilities and their families across Simcoe County.

Funds raised by the Foundation go directly to individuals and families for services and supports that receive partial or no government funding.

Our recipient agency, Simcoe Community Services, was founded in 1953 by concerned parents and citizens. The organization is a well known provider of quality support services to people with intellectual disabilities. It has developed a number of formal partnerships throughout the community with employers, educators and various human services professionals. Recently Simcoe Community Services was accredited by the Council on Quality and Leadership International and is a long-standing member of Community Living Ontario.

Funds raised by the Foundation go directly to people and families for services and supports that are not fully funded by government or other funding.

Top reasons to invest in this year’s Annual Campaign - Building Possibilities; Investing in People with Intellectual Disabilities:

•Government funding for SCS programs has not kept up with increased demand or inflation •Inclusion and acceptance builds a stronger community •People who have intellectual disabilities are valued members of our community
