Supporting Edmonton Students:
Building a Sustainable Future Together
The Edmonton Public Schools Foundation is excited to announce the launch of our brand-new Endowment Fund held with the Edmonton Community Foundation (ECF). This fund represents a transformational milestone, ensuring a permanent, sustainable source of funding to help Edmonton students thrive for generations to come.
Double Your Impact: The $50,000 Matching Challenge
To celebrate this launch, the Edmonton Community Foundation has generously agreed to match all donations dollar-for-dollar up to $50,000 through December 31, 2026.
- Our goal: Raise $50,000 in community contributions before December 31, 2026.
- The potential: Unlocking the full $50,000 ECF match to create a $100,000 endowment fund before the new year!
- Your opportunity: Every dollar you contribute today means twice the support for Edmonton children tomorrow.
A Shared Commitment: Uplifting Edmonton’s Youth
Our partnership with the Edmonton Community Foundation is rooted in a shared commitment to uplift Edmonton’s youth and build a stronger city. Supporting children is one of the most powerful ways to build a healthier, more resilient community.
“The development of a strong foundation for children early in life takes more than programs alone. It depends on stable, welcoming spaces for children to learn and play, and on the educators, caregivers and organizations that help families thrive.”
-Allan Undheim, Vice President of Community Impact, Edmonton Community Foundation
Through this new endowment, we support students with:
- Learning tools and technology: Equipping students with Chromebooks and essential school supplies.
- Early literacy support: Filling classroom libraries with engaging, diverse books.
- School nutrition: Fuelling bright minds through programs like Top-ups for Tummies.
- Mental wellness: Delivering mental wellness resources directly into school communities.
Because the principal of this endowment remains permanently invested, your gift generates reliable, recurring funding year after year - helping us adapt and respond to changing student needs for generations to come.
How Your Gift Grows
When you invest in the Edmonton Public Schools Foundation Endowment Fund during this matching window, your contribution creates an immediate and lasting ripple effect. Here’s an example:
Your donation ($500) + ECF match ($500) = $1,000 invested in endowment fund = permanent annual support for Edmonton students
“Investing in students transforms lives and opens doors to opportunity. Stronger students build stronger communities for generations to come.”
-Leanne McFee, Chair, Edmonton Public Schools Foundation
