Make a difference in a child’s life this year

In 2022, families from OCSB schools accessed over $293,000 in emergency response funds from the Catholic Education Foundation of Ottawa (CEFO). These crucial funds helped put food on the table, keep the lights and the heat on in their homes, purchase eyeglasses for their children, and a myriad of other necessities.

A campaign of hope.

Every year, Ottawa Catholic School Board (OCSB) employees go above and beyond in showing incredible generosity through their annual charitable campaign for the Catholic Education Foundation of Ottawa (CEFO).

Rising costs of food, housing and utilities have amplified the constant and increasing need in Ottawa Catholic school communities across the city.

We invite donations directly to CEFO through a recurring or one-time donation. All donations made will go directly to the families who need it the most.
