Our Mission

The David Foster Foundation is dedicated to providing financial support to Canadian families with children in need of life-saving organ transplants. In addition to helping families with their non-medical expenses, the Foundation strives to increase public awareness and education about the importance of becoming a registered organ donor in Canada and the United States.

The David Foster Foundation is a non-profit charitable organization that for the past 35 years has assisted over 1,300 families with children in need of major organ transplants and provided much-needed dollars in direct family support. In 2006, the Foundation became a national organization, expanding to help families across Canada. The Foundation works in collaboration with transplant teams across Canada to provide support for children up to and including their 18th birthday year once they are listed for pediatric transplant to post-operative checkup.

David Foster Foundation Overview

Types of support provided by DFF may include:

Transportation costs, accommodation, long distance phone calls and meals and groceries for the family while they are in another city for their child’s transplant or related care

Clothes and basic personal items if the family has to leave their hometown suddenly for treatment or for their child’s transplant

Rent or mortgage assistance on a short-term basis if necessary while the family is in another city or province for surgery or medical treatment

Values

Our values stem from our desire to work in partnership with our sponsors to create successful, high-quality charity events for the good of all of our stakeholders, business partners and the families.

  • Communication: We communicate clearly, effectively and respectfully to the community.
  • Integrity/Ethics: Integrity is the cornerstone of our dealings.
  • Execution: We say what we’ll do; then we do what we say.
  • Innovation: We go beyond the expectations to create unique charitable events.
  • Accountability: Every member of the team is accountable to themselves, to our sponsors and ultimately responsible for the success of the David Foster Foundation.

 

The David Foster Foundation is a registered charity in both Canada and the United States.
