What Inspired Children & Youth Foundation does

The Inspired Children & Youth Foundation is a registered Canadian charity (BN: 795733708RR0001) founded in 2021 by Parmjit S. Mangat following his retirement from the World View Adoption Association. The foundation operates as a grant-making vehicle that channels funds to Canadian registered charities working to protect vulnerable children and youth from mental health harms associated with technology use, distributing $22,000 CAD in 2023 and $60,000 CAD in 2024 across eight charities to date, including jack.org, CAMH, UNICEF Canada, UNHCR, Indspire, CAMFED, and War Child Canada. It has no proprietary technology product, software platform, or AI capability; its core "technology" consists of a WordPress website, CanadaHelps donation integration, an email newsletter, and downloadable PDF resources such as "The Case for Unplugging," a "Digital Wellbeing Guide for Teens and Parents," and the Children First Canada Report 2024.

The foundation supplements grant-making with awareness-building content marketing (a blog, the Substack/LinkedIn newsletter "Your Tech Relationship" authored by Executive Director Michelle N. Moore) and a complementary revenue-generating activity: the Orlando Offline Club, a private lakeside venue near Orlando, Florida, that hosts device-free leadership meetings, retreats, and workshops for executives, professional women, and community groups, with all professional fees paid as tax-receipted donations to the foundation. The organization is governed by a three-person board (President Parmjit S. Mangat, Executive Director/Board Secretary Michelle N. Moore, Treasurer Anne-Sophie Brieger of Sago Mini/Spin Master) with no disclosed employees. Its revenue model is a hybrid donation stack (individual donations, corporate partnerships, foundation grants, government funding, fundraising events) layered onto a primary funding source: the World View Adoption Association investment portfolio, supplemented by profit-donations from Michelle N. Moore's separate digital-wellbeing consultancy, MichelleNatalyaMoore.com.

The target market for grants is Canadian mental-health and child-welfare charities; the target donors are individual givers, mission-aligned corporates, other foundations, and government entities in Canada and the United States; and the target customers for event experiences are executive teams and women's leadership groups willing to pay premium prices for curated device-free offsites. Geographic operations span Toronto (registered head office) and Oviedo, Florida (event venue), with no disclosed expansion plans beyond incremental event programming.
