Edmonton Public Schools Foundation

Helping students thrive inside the classroom and beyond

Established in 2010, the Edmonton Public Schools Foundation raises funds and awareness to level the 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 through six funding pillars: Full Day Kindergarten; Literacy Supports; Mental Wellness; School Nutrition; Learning Tools and Technology; and Enrichment Experiences.

Please contact us if you would like to help us help kids!
