We focus our funding on organizations and activities in our home community of Waterloo Region.
Our goal is the healthy development of children aged 0-12. The Foundation gives priority to initiatives focused on primary prevention: strategies which promote children’s wellness and proactively address potential problems by providing opportunities for learning and growth. We value the important role played by parents, caregivers, schools, neighbours, and the community at large in raising healthy children. We dream of a community where every child is supported and encouraged to reach their full potential.
To provide children and youth aged 16 and under from low-income families in Waterloo Region with access to social and recreational facilities and programs.
Providing unrestricted funds to support organizations' ability to achieve its mission overall.
It is flexible and allows grantees to allocate funds towards self-identified organizational priorities in order to develop and strengthen their internal systems.
To reduce financial barriers to higher education, starting in Fall, 2025, we have established the Lyle S. Hallman Scholars awards at Wilfrid Laurier University, University of Waterloo, and Conestoga College. Students from Waterloo Region registered in any program at one of the three institutions and who demonstrate financial need, are eligible to apply. Each award will support a student from registration through to graduation.
Commencing in 2026, the Foundation will establish an Equipment Renewal Fund at Cambridge Memorial Hospital, and the newly merged entity of St. Mary’s/Grand River Hospitals. With the rapid changes in medical technology, the limited lifespan of equipment, and the fact that government does not fund equipment, this new fund will meet a significant need. Funds will be disbursed on an annual basis. No application is necessary and each hospital will provide an annual report on usage of funds.
As a charitable foundation registered with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), the Lyle S. Hallman Foundation may only make grants to registered charities or other qualified donees under the Income Tax Act.
