Strengthening the Charitable Sector in Canada
Since 1953
The Muttart Foundation believes that Canada is best served through a strong, independent and interconnected voluntary sector. It also believes that foundations and other funders can help ensure the sector maintains and gains strength.
The Early years of a child’s life provide the foundation for development. A healthy birth, a nurturing home environment, and caring and supportive communities are critical in helping every child reach their full potential.
The Foundation undertakes and funds its own program activities and initiatives. The Foundation does not seek external applications in respect to this work.
Funding under the Bursary and Training programs is available to social service charities and early childhood education and care charities.
The Foundation is pleased to assist the charitable sector by providing various publications that relate to the information needs of the sector.
