SCL Children's Fund
Our Mission
The SCL Children's Fund is dedicated to improving the education, health, and welfare of children. The Foundation was originally founded and named in honour of Madame Soong Ching Ling (1893-1981), who received international acclaim for her tireless efforts to better the lives of China’s children. Since its creation in 1981, the Foundation has evolved in recent years to focus mainly on the needs of children in Canada, while still supporting some children’s programs in China. We strive to fill gaps and address children’s needs that will otherwise go unmet.
Announcements
We are excited to announce our next Fundraising event, which will take place on Sunday October 20 from 2-4:30 pm. It will be held at the Vancouver Centre of International Contemporary Art and will include a guided tour of the current exhibits and updates about the Foundation’s recent activities and programs. More information and ticket purchase is available by going to:
With great sadness, we report the passing on July 16, 2024 of Eileen Lin, who, along with her husband Paul Lin, established the Foundation in 1981.
We are now accepting applications for another round of small grants for projects which provide needed services for children. The grants are available to non-profit organizations helping children in the Greater Vancouver area, and are intended to fill gaps when other funding is not available and these needs would otherwise go unmet. The deadline for receipt of applications is November 1, 2024. More information and the application form are available here.
