Funding Partners


Funding Partners help make a difference by providing a solid foundation to our programs and initiatives. This financial support allows our organization to effect positive change in our society. As a Funding Partner, we offer tailor-made partnership opportunities that are mutually beneficial to both organizations. For more information on current partnership opportunities.

Strategic Partners


As a Strategic Partner your values and mandate are similar to our own. You also strive to effect positive change in the lives of children and youth and wish to become part of a larger consortium of organizations. They do say there is strength in numbers.

The Foundation is unique, differing from other organizations because it has a specific focus on the physical activity needs of children and youth. There are several organizations that support the many other needs for children and youth and other organizations that are strong advocates for physical activity. We at The Foundation are striving to work strategically with both of these groups to ensure that physical activity is recognized as an essential component of healthy child development, and that it has a significant impact on the psychosocial, cognitive and emotional aspects of that development. Our purpose in connecting with others is to facilitate information-sharing, collaboration, joint planning and effective use of resources.

Donations

Your donations to new initiatives will directly benefit the physical activity needs of children and youth in Canada.

Some examples of the Foundation's work include the development and support of critical research in the area of physical activity for children and youth. The Foundation will be forming a national research council involving internationally recognized researchers across various disciplines including psychology, physiology, sociology, medicine, education, etc. This group will serve to address the current research needs regarding physical activity for children and youth and will direct the research undertaken and advocated by The Foundation.
