Inspire Gratitude With a Gift of Kindness.

When you donate to the Catholic Education Foundation of Ottawa (CEFO), you help eliminate the devastating effect poverty has on students and their families. These crucial funds help put food on the table, keep the lights and heat on in their homes, purchase eyeglasses, and a myriad of other necessities. Join us in making a difference in the lives of Ottawa Catholic School Board students.
