The Legacy Fund for Youth from Care is a scholarship/bursary program for young adults formerly in the care of Children's Services. It was developed as a strong expression of support by staff members of the former Calgary Rocky View Child and Family Services Authority, now Calgary and Area Child and Family Services Authority.

The Legacy Fund for Youth from Care provides bursaries to young adults (18-30 years) who were the subject of a Permanent Guardianship Order in Calgary and Area at the time that they turned 18.

Staff recognize the unique challenges faced by this group of young men and women formerly in care. The objective of the fund is to help young people with no caring families to support them, and to give them increased access to the training and learning opportunities they desire.

The Friends of the Legacy Committee is responsible for ongoing fundraising. The committee is also responsible for reviewing student applications and recommending candidates for awards from the fund.  Donations may be made to the The Calgary Foundation which manages the fund.  Contact the Calgary Foundation at (403) 802-7700.
