Dream Fund
Our Dream Fund supports young people in and from care to pursue their careers and achieve their goals through education and skill building. The Dream Fund includes two different bursaries that are distributed three times a year: in October, February and July.
Contact Taylor Burnett for more information about our Dream Fund Bursaries and how you can apply.
Education Achievement Bursary
Want to go back to school but wondering if you can afford tuition on top of everything else? The Education Achievement Bursary can provide you with up to $1500 for tuition at a post-secondary school. Young people can use this bursary for all accredited schools, not just the usual designated post-secondary schools.

Reach for Success Bursary
Are you working towards a goal but there’s an expense getting in your way? The Reach for Success Bursary can provide you with up to $500 to overcome barriers you might face in achieving your goals. Reach for Success Bursary winners have used the money to pay for photography lessons, driving lessons, yoga memberships, sports team fees, Canadian citizenship applications, BCIDs, certifications like FoodSafe and Serving it Right, and even dental work. If you need money for anything you don’t see listed here, get in touch with us and we’ll do what we can to help!
