Innovation Grants

In 2022, the TELUS Friendly Future Foundation launched multi-year Innovation Grants for Canadian registered charities and qualified donees. These grants helped address some of the most pressing issues facing youth in Canada.
As we shift our focus to
supporting students facing financial barriers
 with their pursuit of post-secondary education, we are proud to announce that from 2022 to 2024, we awarded over $4.2 million in Innovation Grants to 26 youth-focused charities across the country.
