What We Fund
Projects supported may help youth
• build critical life skills, positive attitudes and self esteem;
• overcome emotional and behavioral problems;
• avoid destructive behaviors.
The project / program that is being submitted for review must address
one of two high-level outcomes for youth: improving mental health and / or increasing community belonging. For more information about these outcomes other important information about our grants please invest the time to read all the sections of our website.
The Foundation prefers to support projects that show evidence of lasting, positive change.
The Foundation is receptive to innovative new projects. We also consider established programs, especially those that do not have a wide support base.
We value cooperation and collaboration. Therefore, the Foundation will look favourably on projects that demonstrate these values.
