    Children First: School Choice Trust


    Children First: School Choice Trust is Canada’s first privately funded program that helps low-income parents in Ontario and Calgary, Alberta send their children to an independent elementary school of their choice by providing grants worth up to 50% of the cost of tuition.

    For more details about the program or an application, visit the Children First: School Choice website.

    This innovative program has been made possible by The W. Garfield Weston Foundation in Ontario and The Hunter Family Foundation in Alberta.

    A featured program of the Toronto Community Foundation, Children First: School Choice Trust is the only Canadian program ever to win the international Templeton Award for Social Entrepreneurship (2004).
