Family & Children's Services Foundation

Supporting Families. Enriching community.

Since 1991, through the generous contributions of our Waterloo Region community, Family and Children’s Services (FACS) Foundation has supported local children, youth, and families to heal, learn, and grow.

FACS Foundation's commitment to early intervention and prevention complements the child protection measures of Family & Children's Services of the Waterloo Region, providing support to healing and prevention programs that are not funded by government.

Donations to the Foundation help address systemic inequalities and root causes of harm, which significantly impact both family welfare and our community. By building resilience, strengthening communities, and addressing social inequities, the Foundation helps to ensure the well-being of children, youth, and families in Waterloo Region. Community support is crucial for FACS Foundation to continue its vital prevention work as it is supported entirely by funds raised in the community.

Our four pillars are building resilience, poverty mitigation, social innovation, and equity in philanthropy.
