We cultivate the potential in every child by leveling the playing field.

Kids are amazing; sometimes they need a boost.

The Education Foundation of Ottawa’s Active Living and Opportunity fund opens up a world of possibilities for students by administering awards and bursaries on behalf of families and individuals. Every child in Ottawa deserves a chance to explore and excel in their learning.

Curiosity is a luxury. How could a child ever afford to explore when their reality is limited by poverty? Sometimes our stars need a little extra help to shine. Explore the links below to learn more, apply, and donate to our awards and bursaries:
