# Funding, Government Support and Philanthropic Partners

 

YWHO was established in 2017 with the generous support of the Ontario government and philanthropic partners to launch the first 10 Youth Wellness Hubs as a demonstration of the YWHO integrated youth services model. At the end of the demonstration phase, these existing sites were provided annualized funding by the Ontario government.  The ongoing support of government has facilitated the expansion to 32 fully funded YWHO networks. In addition, philanthropic donors have supported YWHO to innovate and mobilize knowledge.



  

 

## Philanthropic Partners and Funders

 

Youth Wellness Hubs Ontario's philanthropic efforts are lead and supported by the CAMH Foundation and Dr. Jo Henderson. The CAMH Foundation convenes a Funders Table to discuss strategy, seek advice, and outline future goals. YWHO has also benefitted from the generous support of individual donors and local donors who support individual sites.
