The Canadian Landmine Foundation is Canada's foremost awareness building and fundraising organization for landmine action. Officially introduced by The Hon. Lloyd Axworthy on June 28, 1999, the Canadian Landmine Foundation is led by a President & CEO, and is governed by a Chairman and a Board of Directors comprised of prominent Canadians from across the country.

The Foundation is a registered charity with a mission to raise awareness and funds to end the human and economic suffering caused by anti-personnel landmines. The Foundation has a strong history of building significant partnerships for mine action and of reminding Canadians of the international leadership provided by the Government of Canada.

The internal operating costs of the Foundation are deliberately kept low and are funded by non-government benefactors. Enhanced outreach initiatives are funded by monthly donors. Campaign donations are not used for operating purposes; 100% of campaign donations are used to fund mine action projects.

The Foundation has created a number of innovative campaigns including Night of A Thousand Dinners which has contributed over $4 million to mine action through events held in over 50 countries. In addition, the Foundation working with the donated talents of writers, directors, producers and technicians, produced the public service announcement 'Someone will find them' which has won national and international awards.

The Foundation is a managing partner in the global Adopt-A-Minefield Campaign with partners in the USA, UK, and Sweden.
