AKFC is a non-profit international development agency, working in Asia and Africa to find sustainable solutions to the complex problems causing poverty. In Canada, AKFC mobilizes financial, technical and moral support for development, builds partnerships with Canadian institutions, and promotes discussion and learning on global development issues.
AKFC currently has 17 programs, undertaken with the Canadian government and Canadian institutions, focused on health (esp. maternal & child health), education, rural development and civil society. The Partnership for Advancing Human Development in Africa and Asia is our largest initiative. Over 5 years it will benefit 1 million people through strengthening health and education systems and supporting civil society. In Canada, we undertake public engagement and professional learning activities.
All programs follow a results-based management approach to monitor progress and impact. For programs overseas, AKFC works closely with professional, local implementing partners. Formal procurement, environmental and gender policies guide program design and operations. Program expenditures are subject to regular internal/ external audits by globally recognized firms. AKFC uses the iScala financial information system, to track each project/ grant separately.
Performance management frameworks demonstrated that all projects were progressing well towards intended results. Insecurity in three countries (Afghanistan, Syria, Mali) delayed some results, but no targets are at significant risk. GAC commissioned external audits for two projects and issued clean audit reports. An external Mid-Term Evaluation of AKFC’s largest program indicated that the project was on track to meeting its results and that it is effective, efficient, relevant and sustainable.

The Alberta Children’s Hospital Foundation inspires our community to invest in excellence in child health, research and family centred care.
Brain Health is one of our top priorities. Community donations are being invested in advancing care and research in Traumatic Brain Injury (including concussion, stroke and Neurocritical Care), Epilepsy (including brain surgery), Pain and Rehabilitation, Neurodevelopmental Disorders (including autism and ADHD) and Mental Health and Wellness. Whether they are neurologic or mental health in nature, brain disorders in children can have serious life-long effects.
Key measures of impact include: program growth and development (access, capacity), enhanced programs (innovative, excellence), research and education success and impacts on improving child health outcomes.
As a result of community investment, researchers at the Alberta Children’s Hospital and Alberta Children’s Hospital Research Institute are conducting studies addressing key clinical questions with new findings worthy of publication, knowledge transfer through collaboration, conference and education events, as well as further investment from agencies such as the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. Clinically, the hospital has developed new and enhanced programs and services to benefit kids.

The Baycrest Foundation’s mission is to enrich the quality of life of our community by supporting programs and services that promote excellence in care, research and education in the field of aging. It provides crucial funding to support medical programs and services for seniors; innovative research into Alzheimer’s, dementia and aging brain health; and education that supports healthy aging and healthcare solutions for a growing senior population both in Canada and internationally.
Fundraising undertaken by the Foundation supports our efforts to transform the journey of aging. We fundraise to support critical research at our world renowned Rotman Research Institute; ensure the continuation and growth of globally recognized standards of patient care, and invest in the development and commercialization of products that will define the future through the Canadian Centre for Aging and Brain Health Innovation, housed right here at Baycrest.
The leadership of the Baycrest Foundation and Baycrest Health Sciences maintain a strong, focused relationship to ensure that all fundraising is aligned with organizational goals. Fundraising goals are established annually and the Foundation reports monthly its progress towards these goals. The Foundation also helps Baycrest establish new projects and services, to advance the cause of patient care, and the science of improved brain health and aging.
Baycrest Foundation successfully fulfilled or exceeded all of Baycrest Health Sciences’ funding needs and requirements. Programs that relied on Foundation funding were provided the necessary support through donations and other initiatives.

Together, we fight hunger and its root causes because no one should go hungry.
Emergency Food Hamper Program (including Renal, Vegetarian, and Celiac Hampers), Food Link, Milk Program, Hampers for the Homeless, Pantry/Welcome Home Hampers, Regional Share.
Our primary goal is to meet basic food needs for people experiencing short, medium or long-term challenges and/or crisis. Our ability to act immediately during economic, social or environmental crisis allows us to intervene with basic food needs. Over the last two years in Calgary, over 100,000 people were laid off, thousands who have still not found work. We also provided referral information to help to prevent people falling or remaining in crisis or poverty.
Our programs are continuously streamlined, based on our learning, to specifically target the various groups that need food bank support. This is done with the understanding that requesting food is just the beginning of the conversation. Again, this year, over 80% of clients needed less than three hampers. Agency partnerships have grown 200% with families connecting through direct referrals >50%, further reducing the prolonged impacts of crisis.

The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation (CBCF) is Canada’s leading community-driven breast cancer charity dedicated to: Funding relevant and innovative research, supporting and advocating for the breast cancer community, and providing credible, unbiased support and information to help empower those affected by breast cancer or at increased genetic risk of developing the disease.
Since our inception in 1986, CBCF has invested over $360 million in breast cancer research, funding more than 1,400 scientific grants. Since the merger of CBCF with Willow Breast & Hereditary Cancer Support in 2016, the Foundation also offers vital support and information programs for people affected by breast cancer or at increased genetic risk of developing the disease. These programs directly impact quality of life and well-being of anyone affected by breast cancer.
CBCF tracks all research grants to monitor publications and patents resulting from our support and monitors changes to clinical guidelines and practice arising from our support. In addition, our health programs track increased knowledge and understanding of breast cancer risk factors and screening, as well as the intention to change behaviours.
Investments made by CBCF have led to progress in breast cancer prevention, detection, diagnosis, treatment and care, and have helped to reduce the mortality rates by 44 per cent since their peak in the mid-1980s and increase the five-year survival rate to 88 per cent.
