FFC helps families with marriage and parenting as well as kids and young singles, through its website and free resources, books and publications, community seminars, radio programs, podcasts and prayers. In F2012, the latest data available at the time of this profile, over 11,250 resource materials were sent to Canadian Pregnancy Care Centres to help mothers and unborn children. Every month, FFC counsels 92 couples with marital problems and about 48 parents for parenting issues. FFC sponsored the Connected Child workshop where almost 200 counsellors, adoption professionals and foster and adoptive parents attended to learn about the needs of children who come from troubled backgrounds.

Comments added by the Charity:
Donation reported to CRA are based on the year they are received whereas Focus on the Family Canada’s audited financial statements defer capital donations to match the depreciation expense. An example of this is in 2010 where the donation amount listed above includes donations toward Focus’ capital campaign but depreciation expenses will extend over many future years.
