We believe that accountability requires more than good intentions — it requires evidence. Every year, we rigorously evaluate our programs against clear outcomes, gathering data from participants, partners, and independent assessors. The results are shared openly with our community, our funders, and the public.
Since 2002, more than 847 Toronto students have received bursaries to pursue post-secondary education.
92% of our bursary recipients complete their post-secondary programs — far above the national average.
Over 3,200 Torontonians participated in Community Wellness programming last year alone.
Our Newcomer Integration Support program served over 1,850 individuals and families last year.

Behind every statistic is a person, a family, a story. Here are just three of the thousands of stories that remind us why this work matters.
"I grew up in Rexdale and never thought university was for someone like me. The bursary from Clark Cawthra Coneybeare didn't just pay for my first year — it told me that someone believed in me. I graduated in 2023 with a degree in social work and now I volunteer with the Foundation myself."
"We arrived from Syria in 2021 with nothing. The Foundation connected us with language classes, helped my husband find employment training, and introduced our children to a community where they felt safe. Two years later, we have a home, my husband has a job, and our daughter was accepted to university."
"I am 78 years old and I live alone since my wife passed. The Senior Outreach volunteers visit me every week. They help me with things I can't do anymore, yes, but mostly they just sit with me and talk. I cannot tell you what that means. I have not felt forgotten since they started coming."
The Clark Cawthra Coneybeare Foundation is incorporated and granted registered charity status (No. 823932488RR0001) by the Canada Revenue Agency.
The Youth Education Bursary Program launches with 12 inaugural recipients. Total bursary value in year one: $42,000.
In partnership with three Toronto community health centres, we launch the first iteration of our Community Wellness Initiatives, initially serving 200 individuals.
The Newcomer Integration Support Program is established in response to rising immigration rates and growing unmet needs among Toronto's newcomer communities.
Our Senior Outreach Program doubles its service area, extending into six west Toronto neighbourhoods and launching the Telephone Reassurance Program.
The Foundation celebrates two decades of service, having directly supported over 8,000 individuals and awarded more than 650 education bursaries.
Annual report reveals the Foundation served more than 5,200 participants across all programs — the highest annual total in our history.
