Kindred Foundation Youth Mental Health Grant

Focused on supporting Black youth, 2SLGBTQ+ youth, youth living with a physical disability and where these communities come together. 

Kindred Foundation’s Youth Mental Health Grant started in 2022. From 2022-2024, this grant focused on supporting two youth communities, Black and/or 2SLGBTQ+ youth. Beginning in 2025, we are excited to add a third focus, youth living with a physical disability. 

The goal of this grant is to help ensure that smaller-sized Canadian organizations directly supporting youth mental and physical health have the funds they need to carry out their mission. Kindred Foundation is honoured to be guided by experts and those with lived experience to design, direct, and be decision-makers for this funding initiative.
