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
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.
The Foundation is now using its newly registered DBA (Doing Business As) name of "SCL Children’s Fund." The legal registered name, “Soong Ching Ling Children’s Foundation of Canada,” remains the same. A new logo has also been adopted.
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.
