How We Operate
From selecting partner charities to raising and distributing funds — transparency, integrity, and measurable impact guide everything we do.
of GC4C funding goes directly to projects
Selecting Our Partners
The directors of GC4C research eligible Canadian registered charities in order to select those that focus on helping children in need but are not aligned with political, religious or ideological causes.
Other important criteria are zero to very low administration costs and opportunities to collaborate on specific projects.
We also like to partner with established charities with similar values to our own, which include demonstrated and measurable respect, transparency and integrity.
Partner Criteria
To receive GC4C funding, potential partners must meet the following requirements:
Registered Canadian Non-Profit
The organization must be a registered Canadian non-profit organization, ensuring proper governance and accountability.
Non-Partisan
Must be non-partisan — not aligned with political, religious, or ideological causes. Our sole focus is children's welfare.
100% Direct Funding
The charity must confirm that 100% of GC4C funding will go directly to the proposed project — no administrative overhead.
Projects Supporting Children
Proposed projects must support children and promote any or all of the following:
- Health
- Education
- Social & economic progress
Our Values
We seek partners who share our core values — and we hold ourselves to the same standard.
Respect
We respect the communities we serve, the donors who trust us, and the partners who share our mission.
Transparency
Every dollar is accounted for. We maintain full transparency in how funds are raised and distributed.
Integrity
We do what we say. Our commitment to children's welfare is unwavering and genuine.
How We Raise Funds
Once a project is selected, GC4C raises funds by organizing various events, with the highlight being an annual Winter Fundraiser in Vancouver, BC.

Cash Donations

Corporate Sponsors
Primarily from the mineral exploration & mining sector
Because most of the GC4C team is affiliated with the mineral exploration and mining sector, the foundation draws almost all of its funding from this sector. The GC4C team is fortunate and grateful to have this kind of support and is committed to the values we espouse and expect from our partners.
