About

BC Kids Funding Navigator brings funding and support programs together in one searchable resource.

We organize key information such as eligibility, covered expenses, required documents, and how to apply, then give families tools to explore programs based on their child’s needs.

The goal is simple: make it easier to find relevant supports and understand what to do next.

Our mission is to improve access to funding, services, and supports for children, youth, and families across British Columbia.

Beyond our online resource, we work with families, healthcare providers, educators, community organizations, and funding providers to increase awareness, strengthen connections, and identify barriers that make accessing support more difficult.

BC Kids Funding Navigator began with a simple observation: families often struggle to find supports that already exist.

While working as a Behaviour Interventionist with a family of a child with autism, one of our co-founders saw firsthand how challenging it could be to navigate British Columbia’s funding and support systems. Finding programs, understanding eligibility requirements, and navigating applications often required significant time and effort.

A conversation with a funding organization highlighted another side of the challenge: some programs had funding available but struggled to reach the families who could benefit from them.

The gap became clear: families were searching for support, while organizations were trying to reach them.

Inspired by these experiences, BC Kids Funding Navigator was founded in February 2026. The resource launched in May 2026 and officially incorporated as a non-profit society in British Columbia on August 19, 2026.

We envision a British Columbia where every family can more easily connect with the supports their child needs.

We believe better access requires more than organizing information. It also requires stronger connections between the families who use these systems, the organizations that provide support, and the decision-makers who can help improve them.

Through our online resource, community events, partnerships, and outreach, we aim to increase awareness, strengthen connections, and identify gaps in existing systems. As we learn from families and community partners, we hope to bring those experiences into broader conversations about improving access to funding and supports for children and youth across BC.

We are committed to listening, learning, and building BC Kids Funding Navigator alongside the communities it is designed to serve.
