Establish a Granting Fund

EducationMatters collaborates with donors to provide funding for programs and initiatives that go beyond government funding limitations. These grants empower schools to invest in essential resources that promote student success. Our goal is to create opportunities today that will enable generations of Calgary students to achieve financial stability and lead fulfilling, healthy, and productive lives as adults.

As the founder of a fund, you determine the criteria by which grants are made. CBE educators apply for grants in late summer/early fall with funding being disbursed by December of that year. Without exception, the donor’s wishes are strictly honoured. A donor can participate in the selection of the grantee(s) or can defer the decision to the EducationMatters Grant Committee.

At EducationMatters we believe that education is the cornerstone of our society. In the spirit of reconciliation, recognizing, and thanking our Indigenous friends and neighbours honours their history and builds the conditions of respect for all peoples. EducationMatters board, staff, and volunteers acknowledge that the land on which we gather is the traditional Treaty 7 territory of the Blackfoot Nations, which include the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai. We also acknowledge the Tsuut’ina and Stoney Nakoda First Nations (including the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Wesley First Nations).The City of Calgary is also home to Métis Nation of Alberta - Districts 5 and 6. We acknowledge the many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit who have cared for these lands for generations.
