FAQ

Catapult Canada is a national platform and community that aims to increase equity of access to learning opportunities for youth. Catapult comprises three core components:

1. Digital Hub – a robust online platform providing resources to a network of organizations serving youth across the country,
2. Access Innovation Fund–a multi-million-dollar fund that will support diverse projects at different levels, and
3. Mentor-Coaches – a team of experienced professionals who can help design and guide successful projects in diverse communities.

Catapult Canada is powered by the Rideau Hall Foundation (RHF). The RHF is an independent and non-political charitable organization established to mobilize ideas, people, and resources across the country to tap into our national spirit and help realize our shared aspirations. Working towards a better Canada, the RHF celebrates what is best about Canada while working with partners to meaningfully improve lives and foster the conditions for more Canadians to succeed and thrive.
