To all OCDSB Staff
United Way Campaign at the OCDSB
The Education Foundation of Ottawa partners with United Way
 The Education Foundation of Ottawa (EFO) was established to assist students in the OCDSB who struggle from poverty issues.
During the United Way Campaign this fall, we invite you to consider making a donation to the Education Foundation of Ottawa when making your United Way pledge. We are a registered charity and our Charitable Number is #823738349RR0001. You may designate a portion of your pledge to the EFO when you fill in your pledge form. Our name is on the form. You will certainly make a difference to our students in need. Every dollar raised for the EFO during the United Way Campaign goes back to our students who are at risk.
Thank you for considering the Education Foundation of Ottawa. For more information, please contact Patti Davis, Executive Director, at 613-596-8211x8303 or by Email at patti.davis@ocdsb.ca.

The
Education Foundation of Ottawa removes economic barriers to successful
learning by responding to urgent needs identified by teachers
and principals, with financial and in-kind support for students
within the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board, who are at risk
of failing due to factors associated with poverty.
With
close to 70,000 students in the Ottawa-Carleton District School
Board, our teachers are the front line workers who can identify
children who are in need of support. The Education Foundation
of Ottawa responds immediately and with discretion, providing
basic needs such as food, warm clothing and emergency medication.
The
Foundation also invests in long term solutions that reduce the
impact of poverty on student success. We support students who
have significant challenges and provide funds to help them participate
in musical, artistic and recreational programs.
