The arrival of spring brings new life, hope, and vitality. Yet, the transition from winter’s heaviness requires resilience. The fallen leaves, the saturated earth—these are reminders that growth often emerges from struggle. Finding hope after a difficult season is never easy.
For the Niagara Community Foundation (NCF) community, the past six months have been particularly heavy. We have lost true community champions—individuals whose contributions have left an indelible mark on the place we call home. The weight of winter’s grief has been deeply felt. Yet, it is the strength of our collective legacy that keeps us grounded and fuels our hope to move forward.
Creating a Planned Legacy Fund or providing donation details for memorial gifts is always bittersweet. We grieve those we have lost, yet we also celebrate the incredible impact they have made. Establishing a Planned Legacy Gift or a Tribute Fund is one of the most powerful ways to ensure that a family’s values live on, philanthropic goals are achieved, and collective intention transforms into meaningful impact here in Niagara.
As we honour the lives of those we lost this past winter, we also commit to continuing their legacy for generations to come. Their contributions to our community will not be forgotten—they will be carried forward through acts of generosity, thoughtful giving, and the enduring power of endowment.
