The RWA Foundation was incorporated in June 1997 and is a federally registered charitable organization. The RWAF is governed by a 12-member Board, that is elected annually and consists of parent volunteers, the school principal (or Vice Principal), and a staff representative. Meetings are held monthly at the school and are open to all members of the RWA community. Following completion of the gymnasium project in 2008, an updated auditorium, or “Performing Arts Centre” was identified as RWAF’s next goal. Since this time, the RWAF has been actively seeking $2.2 million in funding for the completion of this project. Phase one of this renovation project is slated to begin in the summer of 2013.

The Moncton Public Library contributes to the quality and vitality of life in the community. By reaching out to people from all walks of life, cultures, and backgrounds, local businesses and other community organizations through its books, materials, and programs, the library makes the City of Moncton a better place to live. With the population of the city growing at an impressive rate and the ever-rising costs of books and materials, the Moncton Public Library has reached the point at which the needs of the community extend beyond available funds. In response to these expanding needs and shrinking budgets, the Moncton Public Library Board has committed seeking ways to increase its ability to purchase books and other materials and to continue to offer all of its exciting programming.

When a youth's stomach is empty, everything else is secondary. Students arriving at school hungry do not perform well in the classroom, have difficulty concentrating, display behavioural problems, are less alert and often lethargic. Student nutrition programs impact the physical, emotional social, cognitive, behavioural and academic needs of children and youth. Breakfast provides the necessary energy and essential nutrients needed to achieve a student's potential at school. In 2011-2012, Nutrition for Learning will provide student nutrition programs for 12,000 unique children throughout the year in Waterloo Region. Challenging economic times and rising food costs continue to present an obstacle for school nutrition programs already operating on a tight budget. We invite you to directly impact the future of children and youth in Waterloo Region.

Founded in 1999, the FGM is modeled after the 700-odd community foundations that already exist in Canada and the United States. Their versatility, flexibility, and effectiveness allow these foundations to satisfy both the wishes of donors and the needs of the charitable organizations they benefit. The FGM differs from other charitable organizations in that it builds endowment funds, the revenues from which are used to support charitable work in a number of areas, primarily health, education, social development, arts and culture, and the environment. Donations to the FGM thus serve the Greater Montreal community in perpetuity.

The National Farmers Foundation has a board of directors made up of five persons known for their commitment to education and research for the benefit of the family farm in Canada. The directors are in sympathy with the goals, objectives, and policy of the National Farmers Union. Representatives of various sectors in the country, such as family farmers, organic product marketers, new rural development groups, churches, rural youth and women, and urban consumers supported the establishment of the organization. Many of these have identified a vacuum with respect to accessible education and plain language research to help direct the crucial ventures in rural development which will mean not only survival, but the thriving of rural communities into the twenty - first century. A new awareness of the interdependence of rural and urban communities creates a challenge to promote action-oriented education and research which will create and enhance positive rural/urban cooperation.

ONE TO ONE is a unique children’s literacy program that provides one-to-one tutoring to children in elementary schools during regular school hours. Our trained volunteer tutors work with students who are identified by their teachers as needing a boost in their literacy skills. Typically, each student spends approximately 30 minutes twice a week with a volunteer tutor. Children chosen for the program often receive little or no literacy support at home. ONE TO ONE provides these children with an opportunity to practice their reading in an environment where it is okay to take risks, make mistakes, and learn at their own pace. The ONE TO ONE program is available for free to any student in one of our program schools, and is completely funded by grants and private donations. ONE TO ONE's 300 volunteer tutors support over 800 students in Vancouver and North Vancouver. Support us and provide a child with the opportunity to develop literacy skills for life.
