About TELUS Friendly Future Foundation


Founded in 2018, TELUS Friendly Future Foundation is a Canadian registered charity that believes all youth, regardless of circumstance, deserve an equal opportunity to reach their full potential.

All youth deserve equal opportunities

In today’s world, not all youth have the same opportunity to feel like they belong. Nearly 1 in 3 youth can’t access the mental healthcare they need and many are falling behind in school. In addition to needing support, young people today want to have a stronger sense of belonging, so they can be at their best and feel connected to their communities.


TELUS Friendly Future Foundation is making that possible. With the support of people like you, we fund more than 500 charities each year doing life-changing work across the country. From mental health services to skills training and education initiatives, we’re making sure every child and youth has an equal opportunity to learn, develop skills and build confidence to thrive in a digital world. We also provide bursaries for students in financial need to access post-secondary education. Because when youth are supported and feel like they belong, they start believing in themselves and in their dreams.


Together, let’s make the future friendly.
