BIG Impact

“It’s difficult to put into words the impact that the support of The Yellow Bus Foundation has had on the children and families that we serve at Jennifer Ashleigh Children’s Charity (JACC). Over the course of our partnership with the Foundation, almost 1,000 children have been directly impacted. When you consider the “ripple effect” that your generous support has created on entire families, literally thousands of people have been touched by your generosity over the years. How incredible!”

Since its inception, The Yellow Bus Foundation has distributed over $9.3M to Canadian children’s charities.

“Yellow Bus Foundation has been an invaluable partner to Jack.org, helping us grow our Jack Chapters program from 150 to 215 Chapters, giving thousands of young leaders across the country the tools to organize mental health-promoting initiatives in their communities, reduce stigma, and encourage help-seeking. Together, we’re not just starting conversations about mental health; we’re making sure that young people know how to look after themselves and others, and that they are able to access the support they need and deserve. This year, with Yellow Bus Foundation’s support, we quickly pivoted to digital programming when COVID-19 hit and paused all of our in-person programming, so we could continue to be there for young people. Thanks to YBF, we adapted our Jack Talks, Jack Summits, and Jack Chapters programs to continue to be there to support Canadian youth. We couldn’t be more grateful to have Yellow Bus Foundation’s support.”
