How We Help
We take care of the basics, so kids can focus on school.
“I would like to thank the Halton Learning Foundation for letting me get new winter gear. I now feel more confident because of how I fit in with everyone else. I’m not the weird kid in a sweater at -10.” – HDSB student
Eliminating Barriers
One in 10 kids in Halton lives in poverty. The Eliminating Barriers Fund provides emergency funding and subsidies that help students of the Halton District School Board come to school and stay engaged in learning. Read more about eliminating barriers.
Engagement Funds
Many schools have more funding needs than available dollars. Engagement Funds enable schools to purchase additional resources to help engage kids in learning in five key areas:
- Arts & Music
- Environmental Education
- Healthy Active Living
- Technology
- Literacy and Numeracy
Scholarships
Halton Learning Foundation offers scholarships, bursaries and awards on behalf of families, individuals and organizations to allow graduating students to continue their education beyond high school. Learn more about scholarships.
