Building Pathways to Opportunity and Inclusion for Underrepresented Communities
Founded in 2021, Better Days Foundation is a Calgary-based non-profit organization dedicated to Advancing equity by delivering education, vital services, and culturally grounded programs empowering newcomers, low-income families both Francophone and Anglophone communities .
The Better Days Foundation was started as a way to support Black Comunities enduring hardships caused by Covid-19. Initially, our goal was to provide food, school supplies and warm clothing for black families per month. However, once we started brainstorming we realized that we could have a greater impact on our community as a whole. We are currently planning fun (and safe) community building fundraisers to bring families and members of our beautiful community together to support our cause of poverty alleviation.
We believe that no family should have to choose between sending their children to school with a healthy lunch and keeping the power on in their home. We also believe that the only way to overcome adversity and push towards better days is to do it together as a community.

To create a future where Underrepresented Communities thrives with dignity, opportunity, and equity.
To empower newcomers, low-income families, and both Francophone and Anglophone communities by advancing equity through education, vital services, and culturally grounded responsive programs—supporting individuals and families in overcoming linguistic, systemic, and social barriers, and building stronger, sustainable futures.
We are committed to supporting Black communities and low income families with empathy and respect. We believe in showing compassion to individuals, regardless of their circumstances. Our goal is to create a welcoming, inclusive environment where those facing challenges feel seen, supported, and valued.
We believe that diversity is a strength, and we are committed to working hand in hand with Black communities and people from diverse backgrounds and experiences. Together, we strive to address poverty through shared leadership, mutual respect, and community-driven solutions. Our goal is to build meaningful partnerships and create a true sense of belonging in Alberta.
We recognize that historical and systemic injustices have disproportionately impacted Black communities and created barriers for many members of our society. We are committed to using our resources responsibly to address these inequities and to holding ourselves accountable as we work toward a more just, inclusive, and equitable future for all.
We believe that inclusion is essential to building a resilient community capable of overcoming adversity. We are committed to uplifting and empowering Black communities and low income families in Alberta, through their most challenging moments. With determination and compassion, we continue our work to alleviate poverty and provide meaningful support to those in need.
