Grant Spotlight: Crosswalk Mural Project

Earlier this year, CFKA provided a grant to the Skeleton Park Arts Festival for their "Crosswalk Mural Pilot Project", a new initiative that supported community development through public art, engaged residents and artists in art making, and helped create a more vibrant neighbourhood in the Skelton Park area. Watch the short video below to learn more!

Let's do more, together.

While CFKA has been able to support many outstanding agencies throughout the Kingston area in 2023, there's more we can do together to address critical community issues and urgent and emerging needs.

CFKA is where your compassion meets purpose.
