"This remarkable piece of work speaks to a shining star of contemporary
Canadian philanthropy. The Barretts place trust and collaboration at the
forefront of their approach to grant making, and they seek to structure
flexible, long-term partnerships with their grantees. By doing so, the Barrett
Family Foundation is leveraging its philanthropy to influence lasting change
to seemingly intractable challenges in Canada and around the world."
-Right Honourable David Johnston, 28th Governor General of Canada
"At World Vision, we are inspired by the Barrett Family Foundation's thoughtful philanthropy. Their approach is broad, tackling big challenges; deep, by strategically addressing root causes; and generous, launching innovations that make a real difference in the lives of vulnerable youth and children. We so appreciate that Bob Barrett and the Foundation team see themselves as real partners, open to mutual learning, challenge, and sharing. We are grateful to celebrate the impact of this strategic approach to transformational giving!"
-Michael Messenger, President and CEO, World Vision Canada (2015-2025)
"Systems change in philanthropy is patient. Slow. Painfully slow. Built at the pace of meetings, listening, learning from people with lived experience. Built on the pace of trust. Investing in every relationship and partnership like it was the only one. Investing in the simple, unsexy stuff that may never make a headline but drives change where it matters. With people. No one does slow steady stubborn system change behind the headlines on the right stuff - and at scale - like the Barrett Family Foundation."
-Daniele Zanotti, Former CEO, United Way (Greater Toronto)
