Building capacity in kids’ mental health by working with mental health service providers to reduce waiting times.
About us
We invest in kids’ mental health by working with service providers to build capacity. More than ever, kids are reaching out for support. Demand is increasing and mental health service providers are struggling to keep up. Kids and their families are trapped on waitlists – unable to get the help they desperately need. Capitalize for Kids began in 2014 as a charitable investors conference that raised $1 million for the Centre for Brain and Mental Health at SickKids. Today, we are a growing community of financial services professionals rallying our friends, families and firms to support kids’ mental health. To date, we have raised over $5 million for our beneficiaries. The strength of our community enables us to take an unconventional approach to philanthropy. We don’t cut blank cheques to our beneficiaries. Instead, we work with them to identify opportunities to build capacity and reduce waitlists. Ultimately, we help more kids access the care they need.

The Pixel Foundation, a Canadian Registered Charity founded in 2019 envisions a Canada where no one has to suffer alone through mental illness and where creative expression, in all of its forms, is recognized as an effective way to promote, support and improve mental health. We partner with leaders in mental health and the arts to develop evidence-based programs that use creative expression as a therapeutic tool for people living with depression, anxiety and bipolar disorder. The Foundation also gives a voice to people with lived experience of mental illness to eliminate stigma.
