Children’s Aid Foundation of Canada has been proud to partner with Fondation des jeunes de la DPJ. We share a common mission to improve the lives of children and youth engaged with the child welfare system. Since our first grant, 20 years ago, our partnership has supported thousands of children and youth in Montreal.

The Children’s Aid Foundation of Canada has been supporting many of the Fondation des jeunes de la DPJ’s programs so youths in care can access the same opportunities to succeed and thrive as other youths.
From school desk to the transition to adulthood
Donations from the Children’s Aid Foundation of Canada through its various funds total more than $2 million.This generous aid has enabled us to support youths in care in most of their developmental spheres.
The financing received was used to help youths stay in school with tutoring assistance, the donation of school supplies and scholarships for staying in school and graduation. It also helped youths discover sports, arts and culture, provide critical follow-up in emergencies such as the COVID-19 pandemic, or simply experience carefree moments, enjoying summer camp. Lastly, it allowed us to provide support for mental health and critical assistance in the transition to adulthood.
An ally for the cause of children in Canada’s child welfare system
The Children’s Aid Foundation of Canada has been working for decades with young people in the care of child welfare systems across Canada so that they can build a better future. The Foundation’s skilled, responsive team and wide-ranging donor base make it a true ally for the Fondation des jeunes de la DPJ.
The Children’s Aid Foundation of Canada is a valuable partner who not only understands the reality and needs of youths in care on a national scale, but knows to consider the organizations’ expertise to adapt to the realities and specific requirements of young people in the field. This openness and trust are key to providing quick, personalized support to the youths who receive our support.
When the expertise and missions of the organizations come together to collaborate in a spirit of trust, it creates sparks feeding the lasting flames that warm and brighten the path of the most vulnerable.
A great big THANK YOU for all these years of trust. The Fondation is fortunate to have your support.
