Will you be a game changer for the children, youth, and families we work alongside?
Let’s level the playing field and build a more equitable future.
Who We Are
Children’s Aid Foundation Ontario was established in 2003 as the Peel Children’s Aid Foundation to raise funds to support innovative and urgently needed programs and services for children, youth and families in the Region of Peel. These programs receive little to no government-funding. We hope to inspire you to support programs that give children and youth in our community the chance to experience nurturing childhoods, equal opportunity to education, and future success.
In August 2024, Peel CAF changed their name to Children’s Aid Foundation Ontario as part of a strategy to co-create an equitable philanthropic landscape in the child welfare space. To learn more about our name change to Children’s Aid Foundation Ontario (CAF-ON) click the link below.
Will you help to break down the barriers that keep children and youth from lives of joy and purpose. Will you be a game-changer?
