Our Story:

The Terry Fox Humanitarian Award Program was established in 1982 in honour of Terry Fox, one of Canada’s most beloved heroes. In his lifetime, Terry captured the hearts of Canadians across the expansive country. To this day, he is widely recognized all over the world for his extraordinary sense of purpose and the ideals of courage, determination, and altruism. The Terry Fox Humanitarian Award Program was created to commemorate Terry’s remarkable life by identifying and investing in young Canadians who carry Terry Fox’s spirit forward through exceptional character, and contributions in humanitarianism, community/civic service, sport, and academics.

After 44 years, the vision of the Terry Fox Humanitarian Award Program is being re-imagined, making it an exciting time to join the organization. Solving global problems, enabling humanitarian youth by providing a transformative experience, and honouring and advancing the humanitarian legacy of Terry Fox – one of Canada’s most recognized heroes – by encouraging Canadians to emulate his courage and determination to improve the lives of others, is at the heart of what we do.

• Stay informed about key trends in fund development, fundraising, donor behaviour, and enabling technologies, identifying relevant opportunities and challenges.
• Collaborate with key stakeholders and partners to deliver philanthropy initiatives, including grant submissions and management, individual, corporate, DAF, and foundation donor engagement, and other related activities.

2. Donor Engagement & Stewardship:

• Implement planned giving strategies including email, mail, and donor meetings, as outlined in an existing strategy created by a planned giving expert.
