What we do

Mission Statement

"To foster a better world — a world that doesn’t discriminate based on race, gender, sexual identity, physical appearance, religion or abilities — a world that is inclusive — a world that treats everyone equally — a world that recognizes and accepts each individual for who they are — a world where everyone feels like they belong."

About This Cause

The Katie Macdonald Foundation for a Better World was established in 2021 to honour Katie and her passion for social justice and her dream for a more inclusive society.

Katie was just shy of her 17th birthday when she died in May 2021. She was deeply troubled by the terrible inequity she saw in the world. Katie had a heartfelt desire for a better world - one without racial discrimination or hate against individuals simply because of their gender, sexual identity or physical appearance.

The Foundation honours her memory by aspiring to make the world better by funding programming that broadens our children's minds and hearts. The Foundation believes that a more compassionate world will lead to better mental health for our youth. 

Katie's Corner

The Katie Macdonald Foundation for a Better World is proud to launch Katie's Corner, a program which funds thoughtfully curated books to help teachers open their students' minds and hearts.

This program was inspired by Katie's love of books and her deep desire for a "better world", one that is more compassionate, open-minded and just.

Teachers from Canadian public and independent schools looking to expand their students' awareness and empathy may apply to order books from the Katie's Corner collection for use in their curriculum on Another Story Education's website. The Foundation will provide funding for these books and will also arrange for a limited number of author visits, subject to availability and funding.
