Who We Are
The Youth Challenge Fund brings together government and privately-matched funds in a common purpose: to improve opportunities for Toronto's young people, particularly in poorly served neighbourhoods in the city's suburban areas. The Province of Ontario has invested $15 million and provided another $15 million in matching funds. The matching funds have been set up to encourage donations from the private sector and individuals, bringing the total potential investment to $45 million by March 2009.
