Our Story
The Capital Prosperity Foundation—formerly Capital Integral Charitable Foundation—was established by Ottawa-based entrepreneur Dan Fried in 2018. From the very beginning, our goal was to help children within the community.
Supporting the School Breakfast Program for Children in Ottawa
For the first few years, we directed fundraising efforts toward the Ottawa Network for Education (ONFE) School Breakfast program. Over the course of three years, through the generous support of our donors, we provided $225,000 in funding for ONFE’s School Breakfast program. This funding proved critical in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, when the price of ingredients skyrocketed.
With the continuing pressure on the cost of running breakfast programs, our Board approved supporting the program for an additional three years.
Helping Vulnerable Children When They Need it Most
As our impact expanded, we reached out to the Ottawa Police Services (OPS) to discuss how to help more vulnerable children. This led to the launch of a pilot project to test drive two programs.
Gift Card Program
Provides $100 gift cards to vulnerable families so they can buy food, clothing and essential household items.
Make a House a Home
Enables OPS officers to provide funding for basic furniture and appliances to vulnerable families with demonstrated need.In 2023 alone, this initiative touched the lives of 110 families, including 172 children.
And we’re only just getting started.
How We Came Together
In our first years operating as the Capital Integral Charitable Foundation, we operated under the guidance of our Board of Directors and the Capital Integral Group of Companies.
In 2024, after a meeting with the executive team at TAAG Corporation and learning about their vision for “Prosperity”, the alignment amongst the organizations was a natural fit. We rebranded and began operating as Capital Prosperity Foundation. Our Board agreed that the new name better reflects our commitment to improve the lives of children and families in the National Capital Region.
In this next phase, Capital Prosperity Foundation will continue to draw guidance from our deeply committed Board, as well as Ottawa-area business leaders including:
- Apollo CI
- Bulldog Restoration and Waterproofing
- Ainger Cabling and Security
- Dayview Electric
- East Coast Consulting
- Rimkus Engineering
- Atlas-Apex Roofing
- TAAG
