Herman Kassinger Foundation Establishes $100,000 Endowment Fund at Grandview Kids 

Grandview Kids is proud to announce a generous $100,000 gift from the Herman Kassinger Foundation to establish the Herman Kassinger Foundation Endowment Fund. 

As a long-time donor and dedicated supporter of Grandview Kids, the Herman Kassinger Foundation continues to demonstrate a profound commitment to making a difference in its community. This meaningful investment reflects not only the Herman Kassinger Foundation’s generosity but also their belief in the potential of every child, youth and family Grandview Kids serves.  

“The Herman Kassinger Foundation is proud to support Grandview Kids and the incredible work they do for children and families in our community. During his lifetime, Herman Kassinger was a successful businessman, but more importantly, he was generous of heart and cared deeply about the welfare of his community,” said Charles Morison, Trustee of the Herman Kassinger Foundation. “By establishing the Herman Kassinger Foundation Endowment Fund, it is our way of creating a lasting impact and helping ensure that families in Durham Region can continue to access the programs and supports they need, not just today, but for years to come.”  

The newly established endowment fund will play a vital role in growing and sustaining programs at Grandview Kids for years to come. It will help support children, youth and families by reducing financial barriers and increasing access to essential therapies, equipment and resources. These supports can be life-changing, opening doors to greater independence, participation and overall well-being for the families we serve.  

“The Herman Kassinger Foundation has been a valued supporter of Grandview Kids for many years, and this remarkable commitment reflects deep trust in our mission of supporting children and youth with physical, communication and developmental needs to live, learn and play,” said Tom McHugh, CEO of Grandview Kids. “Endowment gifts are especially meaningful because they strengthen our organization’s foundation, enabling us to grow, adapt and respond to our community’s needs over time. We are honoured by the Foundation’s confidence in our work and grateful for their leadership in demonstrating how philanthropy can create enduring value for an entire community, especially for those among its most vulnerable.” 

The impact of this endowment will be felt not only today, but well into the future, helping Grandview Kids continue to deliver innovative programs and essential services to the children, youth and families who rely on its services.  

On behalf of everyone at Grandview Kids, we extend our deepest thanks to the Herman Kassinger Foundation for their ongoing support and for helping us build brighter futures, together.
