The Air Canada Foundation was founded in 2012 by a group of dedicated employees at Air Canada who were passionate about giving back to the community. These employees recognized the unique resources and capabilities of the airline, and they saw an opportunity to use these resources to make a positive impact on the lives of children and youth.
The founding members of the Air Canada Foundation began by researching various charitable organizations and causes that aligned with the foundation’s mission of improving the health and well-being of children and youth. They decided to focus on organizations that promote children’s health and welfare, with a particular emphasis on medical transportation, healthcare access, and funding for medical research.
The foundation was officially launched with a small team of dedicated employees who worked tirelessly to raise awareness and funds for the foundation. They reached out to Air Canada employees and their families, as well as members of the community, to ask for their support. They also formed partnerships with other organizations, such as hospitals and medical research institutions, to help amplify the impact of the foundation’s work.
The Air Canada Foundation quickly gained traction and support, thanks to the dedication and hard work of its founding members. Over the years, the foundation has grown in size and scope, and it has become one of the leading charitable organizations in the country.
The foundation raised funds through various initiatives, including employee and corporate donations, and partnerships with other organizations. They also organize events and campaigns to raise awareness and funds for the foundation’s mission.
Today, the Air Canada Foundation continues to make a positive impact on the lives of children and youth, thanks to the dedication and hard work of its employees, volunteers, and supporters. It has become a symbol of hope and inspiration for many people, both in Canada and around the world.
