The National Farmers Foundation has a board of directors made up of five persons known for their commitment to education and research for the benefit of the family farm in Canada. The directors are in sympathy with the goals, objectives, and policy of the National Farmers Union. Representatives of various sectors in the country, such as family farmers, organic product marketers, new rural development groups, churches, rural youth and women, and urban consumers supported the establishment of the organization. Many of these have identified a vacuum with respect to accessible education and plain language research to help direct the crucial ventures in rural development which will mean not only survival, but the thriving of rural communities into the twenty - first century. A new awareness of the interdependence of rural and urban communities creates a challenge to promote action-oriented education and research which will create and enhance positive rural/urban cooperation.

ONE TO ONE is a unique children’s literacy program that provides one-to-one tutoring to children in elementary schools during regular school hours. Our trained volunteer tutors work with students who are identified by their teachers as needing a boost in their literacy skills. Typically, each student spends approximately 30 minutes twice a week with a volunteer tutor. Children chosen for the program often receive little or no literacy support at home. ONE TO ONE provides these children with an opportunity to practice their reading in an environment where it is okay to take risks, make mistakes, and learn at their own pace. The ONE TO ONE program is available for free to any student in one of our program schools, and is completely funded by grants and private donations. ONE TO ONE's 300 volunteer tutors support over 800 students in Vancouver and North Vancouver. Support us and provide a child with the opportunity to develop literacy skills for life.

Our fundraising solutions can help organizations in any sector and of any size being designed simple enough to deploy by "the novice", yet offer "fundraising professionals" the scalabilty and high-yield appeal for national campaigns.

Serving families for over 25 years, the Montreal Fluency Centre (MFC) provides assessment and treatment of children with language and learning difficulties. At our centre, we see over 100 children weekly. A third of them come from low-income families from Montreal, Laval, the South Shore and the surrounding areas. Thanks to our bursary program these families can receive treatment at a very low cost to cover their children's needs. The MFC integrates professional best practices with state of the art technology to develop unique programs for our community. We work in collaboration with health authorities, school boards, local community groups and parents. Our program results are shared from the local to international arena, thereby allowing others to use or improve our intervention models.

Daytrippers is a registered charity led by a volunteer group of young professionals dedicated to giving back to the community. Daytrippers-sponsored trips are often the only vehicle through which underprivileged children can explore the world beyond their neighbourhoods and gain new perspectives on the world. Thanks to funds raised by Daytrippers, inner-city children have visited conservation areas, gone camping, and walked through a forest for the first time. And children from rural areas have visited Parliament in Ottawa, the Royal Ontario Museum, and many other cultural institutions that are inaccessible in their home environment. We cannot run these trips without your help. With your donation, everybody wins: STUDENTS get an educational and fun experience that they will remember for a lifetime, TEACHERS get to take their classes to a whole new learning environment like nothing they can offer in school, and YOU get to make a difference - and get a tax receipt.
