Family & Children’s Services Niagara works with some of our community’s most vulnerable children and their families. While FACS provides protection and support services for kids and families, the Niagara Foundation for Family & Children’s Services provides enrichments and opportunities to help local kids and families to be the best they can be.
Although FACS receives funding to provide protection and support services, FACS Foundation plays an important role in FACS’ mission by providing funds to enhance the programs and services offered, therefore relying on corporate, group and individual donors; and other private sources of funding. Recreation, education, capital projects and other initiatives are just a few examples of how the Foundation supports FACS in their important work.
Thanks to community support, each year:
- More than 400 children attend summer camp;
- More than 30 youth receive bursaries for post secondary education;
- More than 90 youth get help with the transition from foster or group-home care to living independently in the community.
Annual Gala Raises $60,000:
- Thanks to the generous support of sponsors, donors, and guests the RBC 21st Annual FACS Niagara Charitable Gala raised more than $60,000 (net) – the most ever!
