The Helix Foundation for Children and Youth

The Helix Foundation for Children and Youth provides grants and funding to organizations serving children and young people across the Greater Toronto Area. The foundation identifies gaps in community services and directs resources toward programs that address education, health, wellness, and social development for youth facing barriers to opportunity. By partnering with established nonprofits and emerging initiatives, the foundation strengthens the capacity of organizations working directly with children and families in East York and surrounding regions. The foundation's grantmaking process evaluates applications based on need, feasibility, and potential for meaningful outcomes in the communities served.
