Mission Statement

The T.R. Meighen Family Foundation wishes to encourage strategic and creative initiatives benefiting youth at risk in the Province of New Brunswick, Southern Ontario, and the Montreal Area.

Criteria

We want to:

1) Support initiatives addressing systemic change by organizations seeking to act in innovative or nontraditional ways, whether or not the organization itself might be described as traditional.

2) Provide funding at a crucial time in the evolution of a program or organization.

3) Promote interaction among individuals and organizations that may have differing perspectives and experiences.

4) Support initiatives that have the potential for a multiplier effect in the community.

5) Help organizations become more relevant and ensure their success in going forward.
The foundation will focus on a limited number of strategic initiatives this year. Each successful proposal may be funded for a maximum of three years.
