Our Partners
To transform systems, it takes more than one individual, organization or community on their own.
Foundry is built on strong partnerships. We work closely with community organizations, government, health authorities, youth, caregivers, donors, and many others committed to transforming access to services for BC youth and their families. Together, we are changing the way young people access health and social services across British Columbia.
Provincial Partners
Foundry acknowledges and thanks the Government of British Columbia for its investment and leadership role in establishing Foundry, and for making Foundry a part of its provincial strategy to improve mental health and addictions care for young people.
We are also deeply grateful for the ongoing support of Providence Health Care and for the generosity of donors to St. Paul’s Foundation for their roles in bringing our provincial vision to life.
Foundry is pleased to partner with the BC Children’s Hospital Health Literacy & Health Promotion team to develop and share the health literacy content on foundrybc.ca.
Funders and Donors Supporting the Foundry Provincial Initiative
In addition to the ongoing, foundational support provided by the Government of British Columbia, we thank and recognize the following provincial funders for their important contributions.
We are also grateful to the many donors who support their local Foundry centres, helping to ensure they meet the unique needs of their communities.
Foundry Centre Lead Agencies
The Foundry network is made powerful by the strength and spirit of our lead agencies, partners, and youth and families from across BC.
We extend our gratitude to the following organizations, who are lead agencies, operating Foundry centres in their communities. We also thank the many partners in every Foundry community, including regional health authorities, school districts, MCFD offices, Indigenous organizations, First Nations, and local nonprofits who partner together to make each Foundry centre a success.
