Waterloo (June 9, 2010) – Donors, stakeholders, sponsors, and media partners of The Kitchener and Waterloo Community Foundation (KWCF) are invited to attend the inaugural launch of “Vital Ideas” – a tool designed to connect philanthropists to community needs.
Meant as a companion publication to Waterloo Region’s Vital Signs, a report on quality of life in the Region, Vital Ideas highlights the important work being done by charities in Kitchener, Waterloo and area – work that is making a real difference in our community.
“The programs and organizations profiled in our newest publication Vital Ideas align with the knowledge we gather from our work on Vital Signs,” shares Rosemary Smith, CEO of The KWCF.
The initiatives outlined in the publication are providing unique and innovative approaches to dealing with root causes of issues and helping individuals in our community. Issues such as: health and wellness, learning, and safety, to name a few.
“The work of these featured organizations and the positive impact their programs and initiatives bring about is what truly makes our community the vital, creative, and innovative place that it is,” adds Smith. “By working together and tackling issues where they begin, we can make our community an even better place to live, work, and raise a family.”
