Ways to Give
Children growing up in child welfare and youth transitioning out of foster care face such tough challenges. Let’s keep their dreams alive!
Many children, youth and families in your community are struggling and need YOUR SUPPORT.
When you donate to the Children’s Aid Foundation of Ottawa you’re helping give support to your community’s most vulnerable residents living in child welfare and foster care.
There are many ways you can help. You can give a set amount on a monthly basis, provide a one-time gift, or make a donation in someone’s name.
Please choose the one that is best suited to you. The gift you provide will inspire and empower children, youth and their families.
