The Midas Touch Foundation

The Midas Touch Foundation provides financial assistance and support services to individuals and families facing economic hardship in Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area. The foundation distributes grants to help people meet immediate needs such as rent, utilities, food, and medical expenses, while also connecting recipients with longer-term resources for employment training and financial planning. Operating as a public foundation, Midas Touch relies on donor contributions to fund its work, which reaches thousands of Torontonians each year. The organization recognizes that financial emergencies can strike anyone and works to prevent homelessness, food insecurity, and other consequences of sudden economic crisis. Staff and volunteers conduct intake assessments to understand each person's situation and direct them toward the most appropriate assistance, whether emergency aid or programs that build financial stability.
