At Rogers, we believe investing in youth is investing in Canada’s future. We are excited to announce the 2025 Rogers Youth Grants recipients to help thousands of young people each year.
This year, we awarded grants ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 each to non-profit and charitable organizations across the country that deliver educational and employment programs to youth ages 12-29.
“This year’s recipients were chosen for their commitment to making a meaningful impact in the lives of youth facing barriers,” said Navdeep Bains, Chief Corporate Affairs Officer, Rogers. “From homework clubs and coding camps to job readiness and college prep programs, these community organizations will collectively provide critical job and skills training, education, and mentorship programs to help thousands of youth realize their potential.”
Since 2017, Rogers has awarded over $10 million cash and in-kind through youth granting programs, and over $17 million in Ted Rogers Scholarships. Both programs support youth facing barriers and help young people realize their dreams.
