CanChild is formally recognized as a research centre of McMaster University. Support for our centre and our researchers comes from a variety of sources:
The University, in particular the School of Rehabilitation Science, Department of Pediatrics, Department of Family Medicine and Faculty of Health Sciences, provide both financial and infrastructure support to CanChild.

CanChild is committed to making research findings available on the website free of charge. This is critical to ensuring the most current information on childhood disability is easily and quickly available to be used in advancing the care provided for children with disabilities by families and service providers. Donations to CanChild support the activities required to make knowledge quickly available and understandable. Your donation will ensure that these activities continue.
Some donations are targeted to specific projects that support children and families. For example:
Pollock Foundation funds provide opportunities to pilot new ideas. Their funding has supported the development of The KIT: Keeping It Together™ and the Youth KIT .
Hamilton District Society for Disabled Children funds are currently allowing CanChild to make its website fully accessible to persons with disabilities.
