Who We Are

Who We Are


Our Mission

The Children’s Aid Foundation is a national organization committed to improving the lives of abused, neglected and at risk children and youth through prevention, enrichment and education.
 
As a registered charity, we raise funds to implement programs across the country that give disadvantaged children and youth the skills and support they need to reach their full potential.
 
Our main partner is the Children's Aid Society of Toronto; we also partner with other child welfare organizations through the Child Welfare League of Canada.
 
 

Our Unique Position

With a separate endowment that covers our administrative expenses, we are in the unique position to guarantee that 100% of all donations are directed to programming for children and youth in need. By maximizing our return on investment, donors can rest assured that all donations will have an immediate and long-lasting impact.

 
 
Quick Fact: More than 300,000 children and youth are abused and neglected each year in Canada.
 
The good news is that since 1979, the Children's Aid Foundation has been helping them to live safer and happier lives.

Where We're Funding

Whether it’s a big city like Halifax, Vancouver, Toronto or Montreal, or whether it’s a small town like Vernon, Iqaluit or Winkler, the Children’s Aid Foundation is there to help children and youth who have experienced abuse and neglect. We are proud to work with Children's Aid Societies and other child welfare agencies through the Child Welfare League of Canada in all 10 provinces in 3 territories.
