The Durham Children’s Aid Foundation (DCAF) receives support through corporate supporters, foundations, individual donors, various community organizations and special events. Funds raised directly benefit children and youth involved with the Durham Children’s Aid Society and those living in the Durham Region. DCAF is supporting essential and necessary services that are not covered by government funding. The funds are dedicated to key areas, always working to ensure a maximized impact for the community. These programs may seem small, but they can have a huge impact on the life of a child or youth. It is because of the support of the community that DCAF is able to extend a helping hand to those children in desperate need. DCAF helps to break the cycle of abuse and neglect, and to foster the healthy development of youth into socially responsible adults.
Your donation will go a long way in helping to build a future of hope for children. Be an equalizer in the lives of children and youth, begin Giving Hope today!

Meet Daniel
I’m going into my fourth year at the University of Guelph. I study International Development and hope to one day help reform prisoners or work for a non-for-profit, but who knows where this journey will take me. I wanted to take this opportunity to sincerely thank-you for the scholarship that you have given me and the chance you have taken in order to help me in my education. As I have aged out of the system, I am now financially independent and any funds I receive are greatly appreciated and allow me to enjoy my university experience without having to work full time as well.
It is because of people like you that foster children will beat stigma and have the opportunity to be successful citizens within society.
