Imagine a world where every child and young person, regardless of their background, had the support they needed to thrive.
At Children’s Aid Foundation of Canada, we aim to make this vision a reality for those affected by the child welfare system. We raise and grant funds and develop high-impact programs that are delivered in partnership with child- and youth-serving agencies across the country.
And with the support of our donors and partners, we help children and youth access the resources and opportunities they need to grow and succeed. Without that support, young people raised in government care face profound barriers to success, stability, and well-being. Coming into care is never a child’s fault. Your support can help them.
This is why we want to talk about the importance of giving monthly.
You might be wondering, “I already donate. What difference would it make if I donated monthly?” Donating monthly keeps you engaged and connected to our cause, fostering a deeper relationship with the Foundation and the people we support. When you commit to a monthly donation, you’re telling kids involved in the child welfare system that you care; that someone out there is cheering them on.
Did you know that less than 50% of youth in and from care graduate from high school? They are nearly 200 times more likely to experience homelessness. This is a shocking statistic that we at the Foundation are working to rectify.
Poverty, addiction, mental health challenges, isolation, and intergenerational trauma are a few of the most common reasons children are removed from their homes and placed in government care.
No matter the size of a gift, monthly donations help sustain the Foundation’s efforts throughout the year and encourage strategic planning to make our programs and funds accessible to as many people as possible. Here’s a few reasons why becoming a monthly donor is important:
- Your donations will make help even more people affected by the Canadian child welfare system through resources, programs, scholarships, and more.
- Hassle-free automatic payments every month, including direct access to our Supporter Hub where donors can manage their monthly donations.
- Regular updates from the Foundation and those who are supported by our donors to demonstrate your impact.
- Be the first to learn about our campaigns as well as exclusive early access to our offers, like our A Safe Plate digital cookbook!
- Simplify your record-keeping, making it easier to claim your charitable contributions at tax time.
“As [someone] who cares deeply for families in difficult situations, it feels good to be able to alleviate some of the stress or enhance their lives in substantial ways.” – Rebecca, Monthly Donor
