Halton Police Foundation

In honour of its 50th anniversary, Halton Regional Police Service launched the Halton Police Foundation (HPF) in 2024.

First responders are uniquely positioned to gain insight into the complex challenges faced by our community’s most at risk and underserved people. And while we serve people in need on their most difficult days, we know that by working together, we can have a much greater impact.

That’s why HPF is committed to fostering positive relationships with community partners, by providing financial support to help sustain life-changing programs for our region’s most underserved groups, particularly youth at risk. Halton Police Foundation is proud to forge paths for and with the people of Halton, to empower those who need our collective help the most. Powered by the generosity of our supporters, together we are committed to creating a united Halton in which all youth, adults, and families have equal opportunity to thrive. If you would like to help us continue to enhance our communities, we ask you to please make a donation to the Halton Police Foundation.

Please note that CanadaHelps charges a 4% transaction fee on all donations.

This fee covers aspects of processing your generous gift including tax receipting and disbursement-related costs.
