Afonso Chen Foundation

The Afonso Chen Foundation provides financial support and resources to organizations addressing poverty, health inequities, and educational barriers in Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area. The foundation identifies and funds nonprofits working on frontline services, community development, and systemic change across these interconnected areas. By directing grants to vetted organizations, the foundation helps expand programs that reach vulnerable populations, improve access to medical care and healthy living, and create pathways for youth and adults to build skills and economic stability. The foundation works to strengthen the nonprofit sector's capacity to serve communities facing the most pressing challenges.
