Burlington-based Alinea Group’s support helps agencies provide essential services, including nutritious food, educational support, cancer care and mental health assistance

Alinea Group Holdings Inc., in partnership with P & A Paletta Giving Inc., announced a contribution of over $1,000,000 to charitable organizations in Halton and 

Hamilton last week.

Made through the Hamilton Community Foundation, the grants will bolster a diverse range of charitable organizations, including:

  • Dr. Bob Kemp Childrens’ Hospice Initiative
  • Distress Centre Halton
  • Food 4 Kids
  • Pathways to Education (delivered by Compass Community Health) 
  • Reach Out Centre for Kids – ROCK
  • Lynwood Charlton Centre
  • St. Joseph’s Health Hamilton’s Youth Wellness Centre 
  • Cancer Assistance Program, Foundation for Student Success 

These organizations – and others supported by the grants – provide essential services to children and youth, encompassing areas such as nutritious food provisions, educational support, cancer care and mental health assistance.

“Our vision at Alinea is to cultivate thriving communities where individuals can live, work, play and flourish. The contributions we are unveiling today, made possible through P & A Paletta Giving Inc., are aimed at helping to better resource that vision,” said Paul Paletta, Chief Executive Officer and President of Alinea Group Holdings Inc.

Last summer, the Paletta family made an unprecedented commitment of $50 million to the Hamilton Community Foundation, marking the largest single donation in the foundation’s nearly 70-year history.

Building upon their long-standing legacy of philanthropy, which originated with founders Pat and Anita Paletta (hence the name), the family’s philanthropic efforts, now carried forth by Alinea, have spanned decades and encompassed numerous local organizations with a notable emphasis on healthcare initiatives.

With these new grants, the Paletta family’s contributions through the Foundation now exceed $1.6 million.

“We are deeply honoured to collaborate with the Palettas and Alinea on this transformative endeavour,” said Terry Cooke, President and CEO of the Hamilton Community Foundation. “These latest grants exemplify their profound dedication to our community and their resolute commitment to making a significant and far-reaching difference through philanthropy.”
