$300K for 300 Kids
Our 2025 campaign raised an incredible $587,408, nearly doubling our target and becoming the most successful fundraising effort in our organization’s history.
Together, We Are Building Bright Futures!
Across British Columbia, thousands of neurodivergent children face barriers to learning, but thanks to our community, real change is happening.
Through the Bright Futures Bursary Fund, we remove financial barriers so families can access the specialized, confidence-building instruction their children need to learn, develop, and succeed. With less than 5% of our funding coming from government sources, this impact is only possible because of generous supporters.
Our goal was clear: raise $300,000 to support 300 more learners across BC.
Together, we went far beyond that goal.
The $300K for 300 Kids: Transforming Lives campaign raised an incredible $587,408, nearly doubling our target and becoming the most successful fundraising effort in our organization’s history. As a result, 587 more children, youth, and adults with learning and brain-based differences such as dyslexia, ADHD, and autism will be able to access life-changing programs through the Bright Futures Bursary Fund.
This outcome reflects the collective power of our community. Your generosity directly translates into access, opportunity, and brighter futures for hundreds of learners across BC. Thank you for making this impact possible.
How Your Gift Changes Lives
Bruna is a single mom doing everything she can to support her two neurodivergent kids. A sudden layoff made specialized help feel out of reach. Then, our Bright Futures Bursary Fund opened the door to individualized learning support that met her children where they are — helping them thrive and restoring her hope for their future.

Why I Give
“I am proud to support LDS because of the important work it is doing to empower and support individuals with learning differences, regardless of their financial capacity, from early childhood through to adulthood. LDS’ programs and resources are making meaningful differences in the lives of the individuals and families it serves, and are ultimately helping to foster greater equity and inclusion in society at large.”
