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!

Building Community, One Court at a Time

At the Edmonton Public Schools Foundation, our mission is clear: every child deserves the opportunity to thrive, both inside the classroom and beyond. For many students across our city, limited access to essential resources can create significant barriers to success in school. We support students by removing barriers to learning, ensuring every child has access to the tools and supports they need to succeed.

True success, however, does not happen in isolation. It thrives through the power of community and the extraordinary impact of visionary corporate partnerships. Over the last four years, Go Auto has exemplified this commitment, serving as a dedicated community champion for Edmonton Public Schools and the neighborhoods they anchor.
