Welcome

Effective September 1, 2022, each recipient receives $150 each month, from September through June, for a total of $1,500.

The Help Our Students Program is a not-for-profit organization, registered as a charity under the Income Tax Act (Canada).

100% of all donations are distributed to students who are selected by their school.  Your donations are never used to pay administrative costs which are paid by the volunteer Board of Directors.

Donors receive an annual President’s Report.  Each President’s Report contains a financial statement and a link to the recipients’ letters describing how the Help Our Students Program has impacted their lives.

Thanks to the generosity of our Board member, Peter Nicholson, for giving us his wonderful team of Jeff Todd and Patricia Santos for crafting this beautiful video. The link is:

The 2023-24 school year is up and running.  Once again, we are supporting over 200 students in need, at least three students in every Ottawa high school.  Each recipient will receive $150 per month for the entire school year to help them stay in school.

You can help us in our mission by setting up a monthly donation in whatever amount you can afford. 100% of every donation we receive goes directly to help a student.
