Value proposition

We exist to make sure every child has the opportunity to succeed.

Did you know 1 in every 5 children in Ottawa live in poverty?

The Education Foundation of Ottawa (EFO) is an independent, registered charity established in 2005 which raises and grants funds to support the needs of students in the Ottawa-Carlton district.

We work towards the success of every child, by providing them with unique needs from healthy snacks, backpacks, tuitions, warm jackets and more. Every child deserves a chance to learn and grow with their peers, and we aim to make that a possibility.

With your support, the Education Foundation of Ottawa can provide these things to the more than 15,000 children in our city who live in poverty.
