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.  The Foundation is a separately incorporated registered charity # 89615 5629 RR0001.    

Funds raised by the Foundation go directly to individuals and families for services and supports that receive partial or no government funding.  Since 2002, the Foundation has successfully raised over $400,000 through a variety of means including an annual fundraising campaign, a planned giving program, bingo revenue, and two annual events - a golf tournament and a fashion show.    

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 SCS was accredited by the Centre for Quality and Leadership Canada and is a long-standing member of Community Living Ontario.
