CAPITAL PROSPERITY FOUNDATION—formerly Capital Integral Charitable Foundation—was established by Ottawa-based entrepreneur Dan Fried in 2018. From the very beginning, our goal was to help vulnerable children within the community.
In early 2024, after a meeting with Andrew Abraham and his executive team at TAAG Corporation, and learning about their vision for “Prosperity”, the alignment amongst the organizations was a natural fit. By March, we partnered with TAAG and rebranded as Capital Prosperity Foundation. The foundation’s Board agreed that the new name better reflects our commitment to improve the lives of children and families in the National Capital Region. Capital Prosperity Foundation has now also become the charitable giving arm of TAAG.
In this next phase, Capital Prosperity Foundation will continue to draw guidance from our deeply committed Board, as well as Ottawa area business leaders.
Supporting the School Breakfast Program for Children in Ottawa
For the first few years, we directed fundraising efforts toward the Ottawa Network for Education (ONFE) School Breakfast program. Over the course of three years, through the generous support of our donors, we provided $225,000 in funding for ONFE’s School Breakfast program. This funding proved critical in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, when the price of ingredients skyrocketed.
With the continuing pressure on the cost of running breakfast programs, our Board approved supporting the program for an additional three years.
Helping Vulnerable Children When They Need it Most
As our impact expanded, we reached out to the Ottawa Police Services (OPS) to discuss how to help more vulnerable children. This led to the launch of a pilot project to test drive two programs.
Gift Card Program
Provides $100 gift cards to vulnerable families so they can buy food, clothing and essential household items.
Make a House a Home
Enables OPS officers to provide funding for basic furniture and appliances to vulnerable families with demonstrated need. In 2023 alone, this initiative touched the lives of 110 families, including 172 children.
And we’re only just getting started. Capital Prosperity Foundation is backed by an incredible community of partners and sponsors whose support and donations make it possible to run vital programs that provide household essentials to children in need.
By joining our community, you become a key part of our mission. Together, we’re building a community that empowers children to reach their full potential and provides tangible support to caregivers who are struggling to make ends meet.
