A community of people who quietly and consistently show up for children and families — not just during the holidays, but every month of the year.
Friends of the Foundation is an easy way to care in a meaningful, lasting way.
Through automatic monthly giving, your support becomes a steady presence in the lives of children and families.
Why Become a Friend of the Foundation?
You’ll be helping us respond to emergent and urgent needs and be able to say YES when it matters most.
What It Means to Be a Friend
As a Friend of the Foundation, you achieve:
🤍 Effortless Impact
Your gift runs automatically in the background, quietly creating change without reminders or pressure — helping children and families when needs arise.
🌱 Year-Round Meaning
Friends make it possible for us to respond beyond campaigns and seasons — supporting emergent and urgent needs, camp and enrichment, cultural connection, and everyday moments of care.
🔍 A Closer Connection
Friends receive occasional behind-the-scenes updates and real impact stories — sharing how your monthly support is making a difference locally.
🖥️ Share Your Support with Pride
Friends receive custom digital assets — including email signature badges, social media headers, and profile frames — making it easy to show your support and spark meaningful conversations in your networks.
☕ Invitations to Connect
From time to time, Friends are invited to small gatherings or virtual check-ins to hear what’s ahead and connect with others who care deeply about children and families.
⭐ A Community You Belong To
Most of all, Friends are part of a quiet, powerful circle of people who believe showing up consistently is one of the most meaningful ways to care.
This is giving that feels good — and keeps doing good.
Our Mission
The CFSGE Foundation, in partnership with our generous community, raises funds and resources to support programs that enhance the safety, well-being, equity, inclusion, and confidence of children, youth, and families served by Child and Family Services of Grand Erie. We prioritize supporting initiatives aligned with CFSGE’s strategic goals and extend beyond the funding provided by the Ontario Ministry of Children, Community, and Social Services.
