Parent Council Fundraising
Key considerations:
- What is the purpose of the fundraising?
- Are the principal and the community aware of the purpose?
- How many times have we gone to the community for fundraising?
- Are there potential impacts for families who are not able to contribute?
- Does the proposed fundraising address something that the people of Manitoba already fund?
Parent Councils are reminded that all fundraising project amounts raised must be published yearly on each school’s website.

Yes. So let’s think, talk with each other, and speak to our school leadership. The Superintendent and Assistant Superintendents are happy to attend a Parent Council meeting and help brainstorm.
Yes, but ensure every child receives a fun lunch, a book, or can attend the dance without stigma. These events should not be exclusionary.
Great! The Children's Heritage Education Endowment Fund is a charitable branch of the Division. Many foundations and families donate money for nutrition programs, bursaries, school ground improvement projects, arts programming, after-school programming, and more. These funds are distributed equitably amongst the schools.
Donors may also donate funds to the Children’s Heritage Education Endowment Fund and designate a school of their choosing to receive the donation.
