I’d like to fundraise for Ever Active - how do I get started?
Hooray! We’re excited to team up with you. Please reach out to our team at to get started.
As a national registered charity, we rely on the generosity of our community. Ever Active works alongside schools, educators, families, and communities to create the conditions where children and youth can truly flourish — not just survive. We don’t chase quick fixes. We invest in the conditions of each community to make well-being possible over the long term.
For too many kids in our communities, mental health challenges, social isolation, physical inactivity, and systemic inequalities are the daily reality. Anxiety, depression, and loneliness have reached all-time highs, while physical inactivity has become widespread.
Putting well-being at the forefront is why Ever Active exists. We won’t fix the national crisis in one sweep, but we can amplify the ripple effect by making sure the child in front of us has what they need to belong, move, lead and thrive.

What if...
These are the questions that guide Ever Active’s work: they point to the future we’re building toward.
What if every kid felt the benefits of play?
What if the kids who need the most support got it?
What if every adult supporting kids felt equipped to help them thrive?
You Can Help Kids Thrive
Invest in the ongoing work of building healthier, more supportive schools and communities across Canada. Your dollars are an investment in an organization built to respond, adapt, and show up wherever the need is greatest, for as long as it takes to build lasting change. Check out our recent highlights report to see what that looks like in practice, and read real stories of where your money goes.
This work can’t wait. The well-being crisis facing children and youth in Canada is not a future concern— it’s a present reality.
Every year without support is a year a child moves through their formative years without the environment they need to thrive, and a year of preventable harm and missed potential for communities and health systems already stretched thin.
