What We Support
Our Scholarships and Fellowships
We have founded five scholarship and fellowship programs that invest holistically in the leadership potential of students from Canada and around the world.
We invest in world-class scholarship programs and support extracurricular opportunities that enable young people to discover, develop, and deepen their leadership potential.
We invest in pragmatic and scalable solutions to the climate crisis that benefit people and the planet.
We support evidence-based approaches to health and healthcare. Our current focus is on youth well-being and mental health.
Our Founders, John and Marcy McCall MacBain, grew up in Niagara Falls and Huron County, respectively. We support initiatives that help these communities thrive.
