Air Canada Foundation publishes 2025 impact report | News
The Air Canada Foundation today released its 2025 Impact Report, outlining the meaningful difference it has made in communities across Canada through its charitable partnerships, fundraising initiatives and engagement with Air Canada employees across the country.
Through its programs and partnerships with Canadian registered charities, the Foundation remains committed to improving the health and well-being of children and youth. Her work is guided by three core pillars: Health, supporting children’s hospitals and community organizations to improve health outcomes; Protection, addressing socio-economic adversity and the consequences of trauma, so that children can experience a healthy childhood; and Dreams, which promote hope and resilience for seriously ill, impoverished or vulnerable children.
“In 2025, the Air Canada Foundation continued to strengthen its impact for children and families across the country, something all of us at Air Canada are very proud of,” said Michael Rousseau, President and Chief Executive Officer at Air Canada. “A heartfelt thank you to our steadfast partners, generous donors, dedicated Air Canada employees and retirees who play a vital role in delivering meaningful support where it is needed most.”
“Our 2025 impact report reflects what becomes possible when compassion and collaboration come together,” said Louise-Hélène Sénécal, president of the Air Canada Foundation. “Across the country, we are proud to help children and youth access essential medical care, feel safe and supported, and experience moments that open up new possibilities. I want to thank our past president, Priscille LeBlanc, for her commitment, vision and leadership that helped make this year’s success possible. I look forward to continuing this work, along with our committed partners, donors, staff and volunteers, who continue to support children and youth in reaching their full potential.”
As of 2025, the Foundation has raised $2.1 million, including $1.3 million net from its annual fundraising golf tournament. It also generated 42 million Aeroplan points, of which 27.5 million were donated during Aeroplan’s annual Points Matching Week. These points fuel the Foundation’s Hospital Transportation Program, which helps provide vital medical care to sick children across Canada. Nearly $1.8 million was invested directly in communities across the country.
The Foundation also responded to eight humanitarian crises by supporting appeals, donating airline tickets and helping deploy three humanitarian partners and networks for emergency relief.
The Foundation worked with 473 charity partners, delivering programs that directly supported children and families. By 2025:
hosted seven Autism Aviation Day events, supporting more than 130 families as children on the autism spectrum experienced the full pre-flight process in a supportive environment
provided 605 rides through the Hospital Transportation Program to help children access essential medical care
realized 1,113 dreams for children and young people
supported more than 550,000 meal deliveries to address food insecurity
Air Canada employees continued to play a critical role in advancing the Foundation’s mission. In 2025, employees donated more than $70,000 and more than 900 employees volunteered at 28 events across the country.
