Our History
Since 2007, the Education Foundation of Niagara has been investing in students and programs at the District School Board of Niagara.
Led by a volunteer board of directors, the Foundation exists through the generosity of individual donors and organizations. We share a common goal: to help build a healthy, vibrant, and educated Niagara community.
Today, the Education Foundation of Niagara is a key player in reducing barriers to student success. And just as important, our youth learn that people truly care.
The Foundation’s diverse programs support target areas where other funding is not available. We provide direct and timely responses to the immediate needs of students in emergency and poverty situations.
Our vision is a community where every student has access to all of the enriching opportunities that school life offers.
For the past 13 years, our longtime relationship with the Education Foundation of Niagara has been making a difference in the lives of your students, and we couldn't be prouder.
