More Ways to Donate

The TFSS is an independent registered charitable organization dedicated to supporting Toronto District School Board (TDSB) children and helping remove barriers to their education. Our administration costs are less than 6% which allows us to invest a minimum of 94% of all funds raised in most programs and a full 100% in others.
