Colleen Cares Foundation exists to open doors to education, one child at a time. We believe every child deserves a school where they feel seen, supported with their learning needs, and empowered — but for many families in the Waterloo Region this kind of education is out of reach.

Colleen Cares is a charitable foundation created in memory of a grandmother who believed every child should feel excited about school on Monday mornings. We raise funds to remove financial and systemic barriers for students who are underserved by traditional education models, allowing them the opportunity to attend a school that meets their needs.
