About the Children's Aid Foundation of Canada
The Children's Aid Foundation of Canada stands as the foremost charitable organization in our nation, committed to enhancing the lives of children and youth within the child welfare system. Our mission involves raising and allocating funds while delivering a diverse array of impactful programs and services in collaboration with agencies dedicated to child and youth welfare across the country.
Our aspiration is to foster a world where the children and youth we support possess the resilience and strength to build a promising and positive future. Join us in our endeavor to empower children, youth, and families engaged with the child welfare system, helping them transition from mere survival to thriving. Last year, we successfully raised over $17.5 million, benefiting 19,568 children, youth, and families throughout Canada.
This is an opportune moment to become part of the Children's Aid Foundation of Canada as we embark on a bold and transformative strategy aimed at driving growth and enhancing awareness, ultimately leading to increased funding to better serve our three priority demographics:

3) Youth transitioning out of care.
