Donate goods or services
In-kind donations are an impactful addition to our fundraising efforts. Giving a product or lending your skills offer tangible support for our various fundraising initiatives and events. Please email us at contact@thekeltyfoundation.org.

Gift of Securities
When you donate securities directly to a charity, there is no capital gains tax—which means more money for the charity and a bigger tax receipt for you. The Kelty Foundation accepts gifts of stocks, bonds, and mutual funds.

YOUTH COMMITTEE - kind mind
Has your child participated in the Kind Mind Program and wants to help shape its future?
We're inviting current and past Kind Mind participants (ages 5–13) and their parents/caregivers to join our Youth Committee. Members provide valuable feedback on program activities, resources, and new ideas through occasional surveys, video feedback opportunities, and 1–2 virtual focus group meet-ups each year.
Youth Committee members will also receive invitations to select Kelty Foundation events and a special Kind Mind welcome gift.
This is a fun and meaningful way for children to share their voices, help improve the program, and stay connected to the Kind Mind community.
FOCUS GROUP PARTICIPANT - kind mind
Have you participated in the Kind Mind Program as a caregiver, teacher, counsellor, or principal?
We're looking for individuals to share their experiences and feedback through occasional virtual focus groups. These conversations help us better understand the program's impact and identify opportunities for improvement as we continue to grow and evolve Kind Mind.
Focus groups are held after a school's participation in the program and take place virtually. As a thank you for your time and insights, participants will receive a gift card.
Your feedback helps shape the future of Kind Mind and ensures the program continues to meet the needs of students, families, and school communities.
To apply for any available positions, please send your application to VOLUNTEER@thekeltyfoundation.org.
When you give to The Kelty Foundation, you add your voice to the growing demand to see mental health given the attention it deserves. You acknowledge that these challenges touch all of our lives, and that increasing access and prevention is key to driving real change.
