The Air Canada Foundation is excited to welcome applications to its annual grant program. Through this initiative, the Foundation remains deeply committed to improving the health and well-being of children and youth by funding programs that deliver meaningful, lasting impact on children and their families from coast to coast to coast.
Applicants must demonstrate how their proposed project or program will improve and increase access to care, services and eliminate barriers to foster the overall well-being for children and youth from underserved* populations. To be eligible for consideration, requests must be submitted by a Canadian registered charity whose mission aligns with the Air Canada Foundation’s commitment to supporting the health and well-being of children and youth. The funding must support programs or services offered within Canada and must directly impact children from equity-deserving groups.
In 2025, the Foundation disbursed $1.6 million as part of its annual grant program, in support of 38 distinct projects led by 38 Canadian registered charities, each aligned with one of the Foundation’s three pillars:
Health – through working with pediatric hospitals and community organizations to improve health outcomes for children and youth.
Protection- by addressing the effects of socioeconomic adversity such as food insecurity and poverty, as well as the impacts of trauma so children can live a healthy childhood.
Dreams – by fostering hope for seriously ill and impoverished children and those facing physical, mental and social adversity.
Canadian registered charities who share values around the health and well-being of children and youth may apply for a grant directly on the Air Canada Foundation website.
Financial grant applications are only accepted between November 1 and December 31 each year. All submissions are reviewed collectively after the deadline. Applicants selected for funding will receive their grants during the first half of the following calendar year.
