Our Story & Mission

Why We Created Funtiq

Welcome to Funtiq. We are more than just an educational app; we are a mission-driven initiative dedicated to transforming passive screen time into a powerful tool for active, joyful, and equitable learning.

Funtiq is a program of the Visible Minority Radio & TV Network (VMRTN), a federally registered non-profit corporation in Canada. For years, VMRTN has been dedicated to serving the developmental needs of Canada's diverse communities, including newcomers, youth, and vulnerable populations.

Our Guiding Mission

Our world is increasingly digital, and for many parents, screen time is a source of concern. We believe it doesn't have to be. VMRTN's mission is to provide empowerment and capacity-building services, and Funtiq is the next step in that journey. We aim to harness the potential of technology for good, creating a safe, ad-free, and effective learning environment that parents can trust and children love.

Funtiq joins other VMRTN programs, like WeSavetheKids.org, in the shared goal of breaking down barriers to opportunity.

VMRTN provides the foundational mission and community focus, ensuring our work is inclusive, culturally sensitive, and available to the families who need it most.

Funtiq is our technological solution, designed by experts to provide the best in early childhood education and make it accessible to all.

As part of VMRTN's commitment to community service, Funtiq leverages technology not for profit, but for purpose. All support for Funtiq directly contributes to our non-profit mission, allowing us to maintain an ad-free platform, expand our curriculum, and extend our reach to more communities.

Our Commitment to Transparency

We believe in accountability to our users and our supporters. The Visible Minority Radio & TV Network (VMRTN) is a federally registered non-profit corporation in Canada. You can learn more about our parent organization and its charitable work through the official government registries.

Thank you for joining us on this mission. Together, we can turn screen time into connection time and build a brighter future for every child.
