The Senators Community Foundation appears to be the Ottawa Senators’ local community arm, with giving concentrated in the Ottawa-Gatineau region. It primarily supports children and youth well-being, including pediatric health care, youth development, education, recreation/sport access, and family support services, while also backing selected community causes such as military support and environmental stewardship. Its grants tend to go to established local nonprofits and hospital foundations that serve large numbers of children and families.
