Invest in Lasting Change for Children and Youth Connected to Care 

Children’s Aid Foundation of Canada is building a future where children, youth, and families connected to the child welfare system have the support, stability, and opportunities they need to thrive. 

Through philanthropy, innovation, and partnership, we invest in programs and initiatives that strengthen families, improve mental health and well-being, expand access to education and employment opportunities, and help young people build lasting connections and brighter futures. 

Leadership donors play a critical role in advancing this work. Their investments help fuel bold ideas, respond to urgent and emerging needs, and scale solutions that create measurable, long-term impact for children and youth across Canada. 

As we prepare for the Foundation’s next chapter of growth and impact, we are currently working closely with a select group of philanthropic partners and donors who share our commitment to transforming outcomes for children and youth connected to care. 

If you are interested in exploring a leadership gift, we would welcome the opportunity to learn more about your philanthropic vision and discuss how your investment can help create meaningful change for children, youth, and families across Canada. 

Stand Up For Kids: Futures Transformed campaign

We believe that every kid deserves a chance to heal, grow and live their best life

Futures TransformedBut due to circumstances beyond their control, there are nearly 300,000 kids in Canada at risk of neglect and abuse, and unable to access the resources they need to realize their potential 

The national Stand Up for Kids: Future Transformed Campaign is a rallying cry, mobilizing our allies and donors from coast-to-coast to give and support a healthier, safer, and brighter future for thousands of kids in Canada, specifically those impacted by the child welfare system.  

To date, Futures Transformed has impacted the lives of more than 85,000 children and youth. Our programs provide mental health and well-being support, connect youth to their culture, enable tutoring and life-skills programming, and prepare young people for the world of work – and these are just a few. But we know you want us to do more. That’s why we’re increasing our fundraising goal and moving the target from $75 million to $100 million. As Canada’s leading charity supporting families, children and youth impacted by the child welfare system, Children’s Aid Foundation of Canada is leveraging the power of philanthropy, innovation and collaboration in ways that are permanently transforming the lives, experiences, and outcomes of those involved with the child welfare system 

How your generosity will transform futures
