About Make Happy Tummies™
Our Toonies for Tummies campaign has returned to grocery stores coast-to-coast under its new name, Make Happy Tummies.
Make Happy Tummies is enabled by community partners, including the grocery industry, restaurants, individual donors, and organizations who come together to fundraise for local breakfast programs through an annual grocery store campaign and local initiatives.
100% of donations raised through Make Happy Tummies make their way to local stigma-free breakfast programs managed by our partners Student Nutrition Ontario and Breakfast Club of Canada.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much of my donation goes towards student nutrition/breakfast programs?
Do retailers get a tax writeoff for the Make Happy Tummies campaign or any related donations made by shoppers?
No. The only people who are eligible for a tax receipt for donations made in-store during the campaign are the individual donors making the donation.
How do you identify local programs?
We work with our student nutrition partners, to identify eligible school-based student nutrition programs. These programs benefit from donations made in-store and online once the campaign ends.
What if I do not see a program in the vicinity of the store where I am shopping?
How much can I donate at the grocery store? Can I get a tax receipt?
Many of our grocery store partners offer options to make donations of a toonie and several other donation options, including in some cases open donations. The Foundation accepts donations of $5 or more online which are eligible for a tax receipt.
Why are schools not named?
We do not publish school names for privacy reasons.
Can I direct my funds to a specific program?
No. But rest assured donations that are made in store will remain in the local community in the vicinity of the grocery store where the donation is made. For donations made online, we will make every best effort to have those donations benefit student nutrition programs in the region. For certain, donations made online will remain in the province associated with the online donation.
What are the criteria for foods served in the student nutrition programs?
The criteria are determined by the organizations that administer the programs and is based on nutrition guidelines set by each respective province.
