Edmonton Public Schools foundation

Established in 2010, the Edmonton Public Schools Foundation raises funds and awareness to level the educational playing field for children who come to the classroom at a disadvantage by supporting Division programs that exist outside of the Alberta Government’s public funding. We work with a committed Board of Directors who are dedicated to our mission, and genuinely care about the future of today’s learners and tomorrow’s leaders.

Together with our community partners, we support evidence-based Division programming that addresses systemic inequities through investment across six funding pillars:

• Full Day Kindergarten: Giving children extra time in the classroom, when they need it most.
• Learning Enhancements: Providing additional learning support to students in need.
• Mental Wellness: Supporting safe, caring and responsive school communities.
• School Nutrition: Filling tummies so students can learn and grow.
• Learning Tools and Technology: Equipping students with the tools they need to learn and succeed.
• Enrichment Opportunities: Enhancing the student experience through safe and meaningful activities.

The Foundation's work also involves helping the community understand the importance of a strong public education system and the critical role elected officials play in advancing public education. Each year, an Edmonton Public School Trustee is appointed to sit on the Board of Directors.
