About SHANIA TWAIN FOUNDATION INC

Shania Twain Foundation Inc (formerly operating as Shania Kids Can) is a donor-facing 501(c)(3) nonprofit that delivers school‑based programs and grants to support children affected by poverty, food insecurity, and other hardship across North America. The foundation operates a clubhouse model within schools to provide nutritious meals, academic supports, counseling referrals and other wraparound services, and it also makes grants to under-resourced community partners. Founded out of singer Shania Twain’s personal experience with childhood poverty, the organization maintains active programs in both the United States and Canada and is registered as a Canadian charity for providing tax receipts to Canadian donors. The organization is actively fundraising and publicly lists recent Form 990 filings and donation options on its website.

Notable achievements

Artist ticket‑drive fundraising

The foundation has raised funds through artist ticket campaigns, including a pledge of $1 per ticket on Shania Twain’s 2023 Queen of Me tour and related fundraising tied to live performances, generating material support for local program partners.

School‑based clubhouse model

Since its creation (originally as Shania Kids Can in 2010) the foundation developed and scaled a clubhouse model in schools that provides meals, academic help and social/emotional supports to children in need.

North American expansion and Canadian registration

The organization formalized its North American presence by operating in the U.S. and registering as a Canadian charity (separate Canadian registration number) to serve communities in both countries and to provide tax receipts to Canadian donors.
