Together, we help children and youth thrive across Grand Erie.

As the charitable partner supporting Child and Family Services of Grand Erie (Children's Aid Society), the Foundation works with community donors to provide opportunities and supports that extend beyond government-funded services.

Every child deserves the chance to feel included, supported, and hopeful about their future.

Through the Child and Family Services of Grand Erie Foundation, our community comes together to remove barriers and create opportunities that help young people thrive.

We believe that when children and youth are given access to meaningful experiences, supportive resources, and pathways toward independence, they gain confidence, build resilience, and discover their potential.

Your support helps us respond when needs arise, provide experiences that foster belonging, and invest in long-term opportunities that change life trajectories.

Investing in Children. Empowering Youth. Enriching Lives.

The CFSGE Foundation bridges the gap between publicly funded services and the real-life opportunities that help young people flourish.

Many children and youth served by CFSGE face challenges rooted in poverty, life transitions, or circumstances beyond their control. With donor support, we help remove financial barriers so young people can participate fully in their communities and pursue meaningful futures.

How Your Support Makes an Impact

Immediate Support When It Matters Most

Through Season of Sharing, donors fund gift cards for youth aged 12 and older, empowering them to choose something meaningful for themselves. Financial gifts allow us to provide flexible, dignity-centered support that reflects each young person’s unique needs and interests.

Experiences That Build Confidence and Connection

Initiatives like LemonAID create access to summer camp, extracurricular activities, cultural enrichment, and skills development that foster belonging and growth.

Investments in Long-Term Success

Educational Bursaries help youth pursue post-secondary education and remove financial barriers to independence and opportunity. Donors can also establish named bursaries, creating a lasting legacy of impact.

Through initiatives like Season of Sharing, LemonAID, and Educational Bursaries, the CFSGE Foundation supports children and youth at every stage of their journey, creating opportunities for joy today, stability in moments of need, and lasting pathways toward independence and success.

Together, we are building a community where every young person feels supported, valued, and empowered to reach their full potential.
