Founded in 1998, The Toronto Foundation for Student Success (TFSS) is the registered charitable foundation of the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) created to ensure that all students are ready and able to learn in classrooms. 

The TFSS operates independently from the TDSB. Thanks to the office space and support provided by the TDSB our administration costs are less than 5%. This allows us to invest a minimum of 95% of all funds raised in most programs and a full 100% in student nutrition programs. To learn more about our finances, you can read our financial statements for 2009, 2010 and 2011.

For over eleven years, the TFSS has been building partnerships with the Federal, Provincial and Municipal governments, the TDSB, concerned corporations and foundations, other NGO’s, private individuals, families, and the many diverse communities within Toronto, to draw on the enthusiasm and expertise needed to execute its programs.

The TFSS acts as an advocate for students, identifying and initiating programs to deal with the hunger, poverty and violence experienced by students and our programs have expanded over the years as the need has escalated.

In 1999 the TFSS was nourishing 11,000 children every day. Today, we are support over 147,000 children.
