Partnerships are the foundation behind the Kids Up Front Foundation. Our selection criteria require that all partners are not only qualified and ethical, but share a dedication to the betterment of kids’ lives; a belief that giving kids a lift gives the whole community a lift.
Who, then, are the kids? We focus our energies on children and youth who have been adversely affected by poverty, abuse, illness and disability as well as newcomers to Canada. By assisting kids raised under such trying conditions, we hope to alleviate many of the stresses and challenges, and thereby improve the welfare of both children and families throughout our community.
Charitable opportunities are distributed fairly and efficiently. We notify our Registered Agencies who then accept the activity (sporting events, theme parks, movies - a near endless list of fun and enriching kids’ stuff), select the child and coordinate logistics.
Following the event, Kids Up Front makes every effort to have the kids send cards, stories and photos so we can immortalize the memories for both the donor and the child!
With representation in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton and Toronto, The Kids Up Front Foundation fills ‘empty seats’ with kids. Across Canada, more than 500,000 tickets valued at $13.3M. In Edmonton, 127,200 valued at $2.3M alone since 2003! For detailed information on how it works, and what you can do, please click Donate.
