The Banyan Community Services Foundation was founded in 1986 to support the work of the broader Banyan organization in developing a network of services and resources to assist families at risk in our community. Presently the Foundation, through special events, annual campaigns, and the ongoing giving of our donors, focuses its support on Camp Maple Leaf. The Banyan Foundation is committed to ensuring that children from Hamilton and across Ontario are provided with the opportunity to reap the benefits of a one-week summer camp experience at no cost to their families.
