WHO WE ARE

The Batshaw Youth and Family Centres Foundation is a non-profit organization comprised of concerned volunteers. The Foundation’s mission is to help break the cycle of neglect, abuse, and failure experienced by many children aged 0-18 years and their families. The Foundation supports the clients of the Batshaw Youth and Family Centres, living on the island of Montreal, when public funds are not available.

Through different annual fundraising initiatives, the Foundation raises an average of $250,000 per year to fund programs of assistance offered to youth living with their own families, in foster care, in  residential placement and transitioning to independent living.

The Foundation’s programs are designed to create an environment for youth to feel empowered and help pave the way for a brighter future.

Donations are needed and accepted throughout the year. Please donate today.

It is with great sadness that we report that our friend and mentor Manuel Gilman Batshaw  died peacefully on July 18th, 2016.  The Board of Directors and staff of the Foundation send our deepest sympathies to Mr. Batshaw's son Mark, his family and friends.  

Donations in Manny’s memory can be made online through our Canada Helps page, by sending a cheque to Batshaw Youth and Family Centres Foundation, 5 Weredale Park, Westmount (QC) H3Z 1Y5 or by calling Batshaw Youth and Family Centres Foundation at (514) 989-1885 ext.: 1011.
