Together we can make an impact
With your help, we can create a comprehensive national solution to improve outcomes for children and families across Canada. Our mission is clear: to provide science-based interventions, reach more families, and expand proven programs. Your support makes it all possible.

About KBHF
At the Kids Brain Health Foundation (KBHF), we believe that every child, regardless of diagnosis, geography, or background, deserves the opportunity to thrive. We are Canada’s leading national charitable foundation exclusively focused on funding science-based solutions for children with neurodevelopmental disabilities.
Our mission is to move beyond discovery—to translate cutting-edge research into real-world change. We invest in programs that deliver measurable outcomes: earlier diagnoses, more effective therapies, inclusive communities, and resilient families.
Since 2016, we’ve partnered with Kids Brain Health Network (KBHN) and a growing coalition of researchers, service providers, and communities to ensure that life-changing innovations reach the children who need them most. Our approach is collaborative, cross-sector, and built for scale, because when evidence meets action, the future changes.
Your support powers this transformation. Together, we can unlock potential, expand opportunity, and build a Canada where every child has the support they need to shine.

Approximately 10% of children and youth in Canada live with neurodevelopmental disabilities, and as diagnostic tools improve, this number is only expected to rise. Together, we can provide families with the tools, resources, and support they need to help their children thrive.
By donating to KBHF, you are contributing to a brighter future for children with neurodevelopmental disabilities across Canada. Together, we can ensure that every child and family receives the support they need to reach their full potential.
Gift of Securities
It’s better for you and KBHF!
By donating securities directly to a charity as opposed to selling them and donating the proceeds, the capital gains tax can be eliminated. This means more money for the charity and a greater charitable tax credit for you.
Planned Gifts
By making a planned gift through either a bequest or a life insurance policy, you can leave a lasting legacy for children and families living with neurodevelopmental disabilities.
For more information or to make a planned gift, please contact Shannon Gill, Chief Fund Development Officer, at sgill@kidsbrainhealth.ca or call 780-289-6475.
