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.

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.
