The Pendle Award for Philanthropy was established in 2010 by the Community Foundation of Mississauga as an initiative of the planning committee for the tenth anniversary celebration of the Foundation to be held throughout 2011. This award has been named in honour of the Pendle Fund donors, one of the earliest gifts and largest funds held by the Foundation. Since then, they continue to be inclusive, thoughtful and strategic in awarding the grants from the Fund. The Pendle Fund donors demonstrate that philanthropy can truly transform our community.
