The people behind the purpose.
The Pryde Foundation began with a simple conviction: when local charities have the support they need, the whole community is better for it.
Mission Statement
The Pryde Foundation exists to strengthen the nonprofit sector in Bruce and Grey counties by providing grants to registered charities that service the needs of physical and mentally challenged and registered charities that promote healthy lifestyles and community well-being.
Strengthening communities by supporting the organizations that serve them.
The Pryde Foundation was established to enhance the well-being of individuals and communities across Bruce and Grey counties. Guided by a commitment to compassion, inclusion, and community health, the Foundation provides grants to registered charities that support people with physical and mental challenges, as well as charities that promote healthy lifestyles and overall community well-being.
Our commitment
Supporting Local Charities
The Foundation focuses on providing grants to organizations that demonstrate:
- A clear commitment to serving vulnerable or underserved populations
- Programs that improve physical, mental, or emotional well-being

Why we give
Strong organizations create room for people to thrive.
Brad and Kathy Pryde built their lives in Bruce and Grey counties. Over the years, they saw how much essential work was being carried by local organizations — often with more determination than resources.
The Foundation was created to help close that gap. Today, it provides grants to registered charities supporting people with physical and mental challenges, promoting healthy lifestyles, and building more connected communities.
Inspired by community. Committed to impact.
