Together, we have the strength to change lives

Children’s Aid Foundation of Canada is our country’s leading charity dedicated to improving the lives of children, youth, and families involved with the child welfare system.

How we help
Unlike child welfare agencies, like the Children’s Aid Society, we are not a government agency. We raise and grant funds, and develop programs, that are delivered across Canada.
