The bursary was named in honour of a former youth in care who made a generous donation of $500 to the Council.
Amanda felt that more needed to be done to reach out to former youth in care who are pursuing educational goals
under challenging circumstances. The members of the Nova Scotia Council agreed and established Amanda's Gift.
We rely on the generosity and support of our members and the community at large to donate funds to keep the program
growing. For more information on making a donation to Amanda's Gift, contact the Nova Scotia Council for the Family.
The Nova Scotia Council for the Family is a registered charity formed in 1967 to serve member organizations with a desire
to improve the range and quality of services for children and families in Nova Scotia. A Board of Directors that is appointed by
member organizations leads the Council. As a registered charity, the Council issues tax receipts for qualifying donations.
