We have a new online application system!
If you have received funding from us in the past two years, you may already have an account in the new system as we moved family information over. Families will be receiving an automated email with a link to activate their account and set their password. Your Username in the new system will be your email address.
Contact us at freetogrow@childrensfoundation.org or by phone 519-826-9551 ext 23 to see if you have an account in the new system.
If you have never applied to Free to Grow before, create a new account. Before creating an account, please read our Terms and Conditions.
