About the Canada Post Community Foundation
The Canada Post Community Foundation provides grants to Canadian schools, charities and organizations in an effort to make a difference in the lives of children across the country. It supports the small, underfunded projects that often go unnoticed from coast to coast to coast. Through its grassroots, community-based approach, the Foundation plays a critical role in helping Canada Post achieve its purpose, A Stronger Canada – Delivered.
Since 2012, the Canada Post Community Foundation has supported more than 1,100 community organizations that bring positive change to Canadian children.
About the design
The 2022 stamp for the Canada Post Community Foundation was designed by Joanna Todd of Chad Roberts Design and selected by Canada Post frontline retail employees. The design features a fun treehouse scene with birtd and flowers under a joyful azure sky. There's something magical about treehouses. They inspire imagination, offer a place for make-believe play and provide a setting to dream. Creating spaces for children – literal, virtual and figurative – is vital. That's why the Canada Post Community Foundation exists.
