Mission Statement

The T.R. Meighen Family Foundation wishes to encourage strategic and creative initiatives in Toronto, Montreal and New Brunswick that benefit youth at risk, education, and mental health research with a focus on youth and families.

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 moving forward.
 
At the present time the foundation is focusing on a limited number of new initiatives. We welcome letters of inquiry on an ongoing basis from organizations that align with our criteria for funding. Please be aware that all letters of inquiry and proposals are read and it may take approximately six to eight weeks to receive feedback.
