The Lawson Foundation is a national family foundation. Our work is focused on the wellbeing of children and youth. We invest in three interconnected impact areas that we believe have a lasting positive effect on their development. Early Child Development: Promoting and enhancing early child development for the benefit of children, families and Canadian society. Healthy Active Living: Increasing opportunities for all children and youth to be active and make healthy choices to ensure their full potential. Children, Youth and the Environment: Promoting the value of outdoor spaces and providing opportunities for children and youth to connect with, value and become stewards of their natural environment. In addition to our grantmaking and our convening role, the Lawson Foundation is leveraging its assets to create social good through impact investing.
