Leader & Legacy Sponsors
At the Lawson Foundation our work is focused on the healthy development of children and youth. We grant, we convene and we invest in three interconnected impact areas that we believe have a lasting positive effect on children and youth:
- Early child development
- Healthy active children and youth
- Youth and the environment
We are a family foundation that works at a national level out of Foundation House, a shared collaborative space for the development of philanthropy in Canada.
