When it comes to giving back, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach, and that’s exactly why we love community fundraisers!
Whether you’re planning a birthday bash, organizing a fitness challenge or turning a company get-together into a cause for good, your event can directly support students across the city with the Edmonton Public Schools Foundation.
By hosting an event in support of the Foundation, you’re doing more than raising money - you’re creating meaningful opportunities for students to thrive in school and in life.
Why host a fundraiser?
The Edmonton Public Schools Foundation supports high-impact programs that level the playing field for students.
From mental wellness resources and classroom library books to our Division-wide programs, Chromebooks for Kids and Top-ups for Tummies, your fundraiser helps eliminate barriers to learning and sets students up for long-term success. Through our individual, corporate and community donors, we support public education and students who need it most. But we still need your help.
A community-led event is a fun and flexible way to support the work of the Edmonton Public Schools Foundation. By hosting a fundraiser, you have the opportunity to support students in a way that’s uniquely yours.
Fundraising ideas to make a difference
Hosting a fundraiser doesn’t have to be big or complicated. It just has to come from the heart.
Here are a few ideas to get you started:
- Celebrate a milestone: Turn your birthday, anniversary or retirement into a celebration of learning by inviting donations in lieu of gifts.
- Get active for education: Host a run, walk, bike ride or fitness challenge and collect pledges for your efforts.
- Spirit days: If you’re part of a business or organization, consider hosting a jeans day or bake sale with proceeds benefiting students through the Edmonton Public Schools Foundation.
- Get creative: Organize a paint night, trivia tournament, garage sale or craft market with proceeds donated to the Foundation.
