The Hunter Family Foundation is championing student well-being through a $50,000 partnership with EducationMatters in support of the annual CBE Well-Being Symposium. This student-led initiative empowers middle and high school students to become leaders of well-being in their school communities, strengthening physical, social, and emotional health where it matters most.

Calgary Flames Foundation
The Calgary Flames Foundation has supported EducationMatters with a $25,000 gift to support Extraordinary Experiences for Calgary Board of Education students.
Extraordinary Experiences removes financial barriers so students can participate in hands-on learning opportunities beyond the classroom, such as outdoor education, first-time swimming lessons, cultural and Indigenous learning, and community-based field trips.
This support prioritizes students from underserved communities. Funding ensures equitable access to experiences that foster confidence, belonging, physical wellbeing, and real-world learning.
Backpack Campaign
For the past few years, EducationMatters has supported thousands of students across 70+ schools from Kindergarten to Grade 12 with backpacks filled with essential supplies thanks to donors like you.
Our goal is for every student to go to their school prepared with the supplies they need.
