Member Profile-BFCS Foundation

The Brant Family and Children’s Services

The well-being and safety of children and youth is our primary focus. Together with our community, we strive to protect children and youth and strengthen families. Our agency provides child welfare Services in Brantford, Brant and New Credit.

Foundation was established to provide additional funds in support of the children who are in the care of Brant FACS. Funding is also used to support programs, services and activities that fall outside of the Brant FACS funding criteria, but that are known to reduce the risks of child abuse and/or neglect, and improve outcomes for families, children and youth that work with Brant FACS.

The Foundation supports our families through our local summer camp programs. Camps are carefully matched to the child’s individual interests and needs. Each summer, the Foundation provides funding for approximately 500+ community children.

We also provide post-secondary Education Financial support as well as funding for various special projects throughout the year, such as Adult programming, Community Dinners etc.

100% of the funds donated to the Foundation are applied directly to the programs that it supports.

Due to Covid, our camp programs did not run for 2020. We are optimistically planning for 2021. We did however, continue with our Post-Secondary Education program and most of our special projects which were revised and adjusted to accommodate Covid protocol.

We are thrilled to be Chamber members, under the non-profit category and look forward to networking with other members soon. We are in the process of rebranding and will be soon be known as Smile and Youth in Care. If you are interested in more information or you would like to offer your support in the form of a donation, sponsorship, or a potential partnership please reach out to us. https://brantfacs. ca/foundation-fundraising/ Follow us on Instagram: Brant FACS Foundation and Facebook: Brant Family and Children’s Services
