Anything considered to be an enhancement, and not a core educational responsibility of the government, is eligible for a tax receipt. So while EducationMatters can't pay for teacher salaries, transportation for daily attendance or building expenses, we can support things like reading books, math manipulatives, extra technology, play equipment, field trips, residencies, basic needs, and much more. As per charitable law, a donation cannot be directed to a specific student – the gift has to benefit a group of students (a whole school, or a specific student demographic such as 'special needs', 'Indigenous', 'financial need', group of students in a club or program, etc) or through an application process, a student award. Charitable receipts for any fee payment are not eligible.
