About Us

The Toronto Foundation for Student Success (TFSS) is a registered, non-profit organization, created to ensure that all students get the most from their educational experience.

The TFSS operates independently from the Toronto District School Board (TDSB), while acting as its charitable foundation. The school board pays all administration costs and provides free office space which enables the TFSS to apply 100% of all donations directly to its programs.

The TFSS acts as an advocate for students, identifying and initiating programs to deal with the hunger, poverty and violence experienced by the students. The Foundation works in partnership with the TDSB, major corporations, private individuals and others to draw on the enthusiasm and expertise needed to execute its programs.

We invite you to visit the pages within this site and see how the TFSS delivers on its mission to assist students physically, emotionally and intellectually each school day.

 

MISSION
We are the Toronto Foundation for Student Success.
We exist to help students succeed.
We help feed students, addressing issues of poverty,

hunger and poor nutrition, and their effect on education.
We continually search for new ways to help children

overcome barriers to success in school.
We are advocates for children, lobbying and acting on their behalf.

VISION

The Foundation will identify and initiate programs to deal with the

hunger, poverty and violence experienced by our students.

The Foundation will act as an advocate for students.

 

We will work in partnership to bring together the resources, energy & enthusiasm of

the Federal, Provincial and Municipal Governments, the TDSB, Education Workers (Teachers, School Staff), Families, Concerned Corporations, other NGO’s, private individuals and the many diverse communities within Toronto.

The goal of the Toronto Foundation for Student Success is to support the mission of the Toronto District School Board to:

Enable all students to reach high levels of achievement and to

acquire the knowledge, skills and values they need to

become responsible members of a democratic society.

 

As the TFSS is the arm’s length charitable foundation of the TDSB, the school board pays all administration costs and provides free office space. This enables the TFSS to apply 100% of all donations directly to programs.
