Our Organization

Our job is to fundraise for programs and services that help students overcome barriers and succeed in school. 

We believe that all students should have the support they need to realize well-being and success, and we’re committed to creating equal opportunities for all students. We want to help students actively participate in their school life.

Our programs are universally accessible, breaking down barriers and levelling the playing field in a non-stigmatizing way.

We work with volunteers, teachers, principals, school staff and donors to provide philanthropic support.

Our Work

We assist students’ learning by supporting them both in school and at home through various programs in coordination with school staff, volunteers and our partners. None of this would be possible without your support.

Testimonials

The support provided through the Learning Foundation offers immediate financial assistance to students and their families in their time of need. This funding is invaluable and assists families directly, whether it be for purchasing grocery, or gas cards, back to school supplies, or covering the registration costs for children’s recreational activities, not to mention other unanticipated expenses.

Child and Youth Worker

Access to breakfast and snack programs and the provisions of grocery cards are not simply keeping students fed, but demonstrating that even during the most uncertain times, kindness, compassion, and love are what is needed to keep us moving forward together…Thank you to The Learning Foundation for making a difference in students’ lives.
