Our Mission
The Snowsuit Fund is an Ottawa-based charity that raises funds for the purchase and distribution of snowsuits to needy children, 15 years and under, in our community.
About THE SNOWSUIT FUND
Founded in 1981, The Snowsuit Fund (SSF) purchases and distributes more than 16,000 snowsuits annually to Ottawa’s needy children aged 15 and younger. Increased demand in 2021 means the snowsuit tally may well exceed past levels.
With yearly campaigns, events, and other initiatives, the SSF brings dignity and hope for families struggling with the necessities of life. The core mission is to ensure that Ottawa’s most vulnerable children have access to warm snowsuits and can play outside in winter — without families having to sacrifice other priorities.
Ottawa winters are cold, yet year-round outdoor play has multiple important benefits. It contributes fundamentally to mental health, active and healthy lifestyles, as well as learning and development.
As a grassroots, charitable endeavour, the SSF receives no government funding and relies entirely on the generosity of caring groups and individuals who give their time, money, and talents.
