About Durham Children's Aid Foundation - DCAF
”Since 2004, we've partnered with Durham Children's Aid Society to empower children, youth, families, and underserved members of our community.
Join us on this journey. The Durham Children’s Aid Foundation (DCAF) raises funds through various programs and events. The funds raised benefit children and youth living in vulnerable family situations.
Donations and support are dedicated to key areas, each providing help in different but essential ways.
It is because of the support of the community that we have been able to extend a helping hand to those children in need, helping to break the cycle of abuse and neglect, and to foster the healthy development of youth into socially responsible adults. DCAF is working to ensure that every Child and Youth are provided with what they need to reach their fullest potential.
The areas supported by DCAF are services that are not covered by government funding. These programs are:
Bursaries for over 45 youth who are pursuing post-secondary education
Recreation and Skill Development programs such as organized sports, music and art lessons, Own Your Story, after school activities and school trips.
Camps for Kids - Summer, March Break and After-School camp subsidies for over 300 children - help to provide an enjoyable summer camp adventures.
Family Assistance Program - Including therapeutic support and counselling for children and families, to reduce the risk of abuse and neglect before they happen.

Mentoring for Success - volunteers providing time and encouragement for over 40 youth.
Special ‘Comfort Kits’ to help make the transition into care of the Durham CAS a little easier for children.
