CHANGE THE GAME.
TEAMMATES WANTED.
DONATE NOWWe are MLSE Foundation. An organization builT on the belief that sport has the power to change the world.
We provide equitable access to sport and opportunity on the playing field leading to success and opportunity off the playing field. With the support of the Toronto Argos, Toronto Maple Leafs, Toronto Raptors and Toronto FC, we have invested more than $80M to help youth recognize and reach their potential.
We are Changing the Game by raising funds and awareness to address systemic barriers preventing youth from reaching their potential. Our impact is told through the lens of real kids we work with and they show us what's possible when you level the playing field. Our hope is that if we all play a role in changing the game, so every kid has a fair chance to write their own story.

HOW WE INVEST
All investments champion the same goal: Ensuring more youth have access to the programs, spaces, and resources they need to reach their full potential. We drive lasting impact through proven, data-informed investment pillars that strengthen the communities we live, work and play in.
ResearchWe invest in research to continue measuring, iterating, and improving on our approach. We have sector and academic partnerships allowing us to assess youth sport access, engagement, and equity across Ontario.
Community GrantsFewer than 10 percent of Ontario youth get the recommended hour of daily physical activity. Through our grant programs, we support organizations helping youth get off the sidelines.
Community Programs82 percent of Canadians know a child who cannot participate in organized sport due to cost. Our free community programs provide employment opportunities and remove access barriers to organized sport.
Community SpacesOnly half of children aged 5 to 14 take part in sport during an average year. We refurbish athletic facilities to create more opportunities for youth to get moving in their community.
LaunchPadMore than 60 percent of youth face significant barriers in life. MLSE LaunchPad provides free Sport For Development programming teaching life-skills through sport and empowering youth facing barriers to recognize and reach their potential.
