SickKids Foundation

🌟 Calling all Greater Toronto Area (GTA) children’s organizations! 🌟 It’s that time of year again! SickKidsWomenPowered is excited to announce that applications are now open for the 2026 SickKidsWomenPowered Fund! The fund will offer grants of up to $25,000 to support organizations working to improve children’s health and well-being in the Greater Toronto Area. The impact of this fund is already being felt by last year’s grantees: “Your investment has been nothing short of transformative for our organization and the families we serve. With this support, we’ve been able to deepen our impact across multiple programs that nurture both mental and physical wellness for Black women, single mothers, and their children.” – Care Masters Women and Family Services “Your generosity has helped us deliver critical programs that support the health and well-being of at-risk children – and for that, we are truly grateful. The SickKidsWomenPowered Fund has helped us fill a critical gap in our health care system and helped us to lessen the impact of parental cancer on families.” – Nankind “Thanks to your support, we’ve been able to distribute 300 Zippaport Teddy Bears to children with cancer across the country. Medical play gives kids a chance to prepare for procedures, role play and develop important coping mechanisms. Zippaport Teddy Bears are intended to support this approach and be used by hospital teams to make port accesses easier for kids.” – Zippaport If your organization is dedicated to making a positive impact on the health, wellness, and overall well-being of children, we invite you to apply for this exciting funding opportunity. 📅 Applications are open until January 20, 2026. 👉 For more information and to apply, please visit: https://bit.ly/43nXZ7u
