The Raptors [[Foundation (nonprofit)|Foundation]] was the charitable arm of the Raptors, dedicated to assisting Ontario's registered [[Charitable organization|charities]] that support programs and sports initiatives for at-risk children and youth. The Foundation strove to lift spirits and change lives for young people by supporting local and provincial organizations that provide recreational, educational and other youth-oriented activities. Through its community ties and with the help of its corporate partners, donors, Raptors players and volunteers, the Foundation had successfully raised more than $14&nbsp;million between 1995 and 2007, and reached out to thousands of other charities.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nba.com/raptors/community/foundation.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070322014953/http://www.nba.com/raptors/community/foundation.html|archive-date=March 22, 2007|access-date=February 22, 2007|website=www.nba.com|publisher=NBA Media Ventures|title=Raptors Foundation}}</ref> In 2009, the Raptors Foundation merged with the other charitable arms of [[Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment|MLSE's]] other sports franchises to form the MLSE Team Up Foundation.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.mlsefoundation.org/about-us/who-we-are|title=Who We Are|publisher=MLSE Foundation|year=2020|access-date=May 7, 2021|website=mlsefoundation.org|archive-date=May 7, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210507162406/https://www.mlsefoundation.org/about-us/who-we-are|url-status=live}}</ref>
