Crohn's and Colitis Canada is a national, volunteer-based charity based in Toronto, Ontario, focused on finding cures for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis—the two main forms of inflammatory bowel disease—and on improving the lives of children and adults affected by these conditions. It ranks among the top two health charity funders of Crohn’s and colitis research worldwide, having invested more than $150 million since 1974 to advance genetics, gut microbes, inflammation, and cell repair, while also delivering patient programs and advocacy. The organization operates across Canada and maintains an online presence at crohnsandcolitis.ca and on social media under @getgutsycanada.

Its activities include supporting research, running scholarships such as the AbbVie IBD Scholarship Program, and publishing national assessments like the 2023 Impact of Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Canada report, which outlines the current state of care and its future implications. Recent developments include partnerships with Pfizer to recognize leading female researchers through the Women In IBD Researcher Award. The charity also hosts volunteer recognition events, such as Volunteer Achievement Awards, as part of its broader effort to raise awareness and support for the IBD community in Canada.
