Help a kid in Mississippi Mills with our support
As a Foundation, we are unable to distribute funds to specific individuals. That’s why we’ve partnered with the Upper Canada District School Board’s Champion for Kids Foundation to ethically and equitably administer the disbursements from our Foundation to kids in Mississippi Mills who are in need.
To refer a child in need, contact the principal at one of the public schools in Mississippi Mills and request an application be submitted on their behalf.
