Can Man Dan Foundation
The Can Man Dan Foundation is a registered Canadian charitable organization dedicated to alleviating poverty and supporting vulnerable populations. Founded by Dan Lee Johnstone, also known as "Can Man Dan," a prominent Canadian anti-poverty and social activist, philanthropist, and author, the foundation has been actively involved in community development and advocacy since 2019.
History and Mission
The foundation's origins date back to 2011 when Johnstone, who grew up in a single-parent household and benefited from community support, began collecting food and donations door-to-door to give back to his community. This initial effort evolved into a formal organization in 2019, expanding its reach and impact through collaborative efforts with local community members, various levels of government, and other non-profit groups.
The Can Man Dan Foundation aims to "fill in the gaps" of societal challenges by providing tangible support at a grassroots level. It emphasizes making genuine connections with those in need, serving individuals across all age groups, and advocating for comprehensive community development.
Activities and Impact
The foundation is known for its community-based initiatives, including large-scale fundraising campaigns and direct support programs. For example, as of December 2024, it had raised significant resources, including $60,000 in new toys and 40,000 pounds of food for those in need. These efforts underscore the foundation's commitment to addressing hunger and poverty.
Advocacy and Community Engagement
Beyond its service-oriented initiatives, the foundation engages in advocacy for several social issues. This includes support for domestic abuse victims, LGBTQ rights, initiatives for a basic income guarantee, and investments in social housing for seniors and low-income families. Can Man Dan also travels as a motivational speaker, sharing his story to inspire and raise awareness about critical social challenges across western Canada.
Registration and Legal Status
The Can Man Dan Foundation is a registered charity with the Canada Revenue Agency, operating under the business number 741751671RR0001. This designation allows the foundation to comply with CRA regulations and focus on its charitable mission.

"Today seems like the perfect day to announce We're Here For Ya Day 13! That's right, Edmonton's biggest back-to-school event is back for the thirteenth consecutive year! August 24th, 2025 - mark it down! - Free backpacks filled with school supplies - In partnership with Edmonton's Food Bank, Nutritious food hampers big enough for the whole family - Ultra stylish haircuts from the pros at Shadified Salon & Barbershop - and more! Full event details can be found at www.canmandan.org! It has been such an honour to do this for so long! If you know of an underprivileged family make sure you share this with them. Or, if you need help, make sure you come! The theme this year is "Peace, Love, and Joy," so you can expect a judgement and shame free zone! If you need help, we got you! Finally, we need help fundraising. Badly. If you want to help, please consider donating new backpacks, new school supplies, or give monetarily at www.canmandan.org! We are expecting to help between 2000-3000 children/families this year and we need the help! This is going to be a wild summer! I cannot wait!" - Can Man Dan #CantStopTheGood #WereHereForYaDay #yeg #CanManDan (fb)
