Tomorrows made brighter for DDSB students in need
About us
The Ignite Durham Learning Foundation is a charitable community organization that raises funds to remove barriers, and creates opportunities and supportive environments that enable students to reach their full potential. We work directly with school staff to support students who face financial barriers to success, providing essentials that fall within our four funding pillars. These essentials could be: -food for a hungry tummy -warm boots for a pair of cold, wet feet -a backpack full of school supplies -a youth joining a club or team -a bus pass to get a teenager to school -a college application package to set up a student for post-secondary success Our goal is to support children and youth in need throughout their DDSB career, consistently reducing poverty related stress and strengthening our community.

It was an absolute honour to partner with the Good Vibes Foundation yesterday as they delivered more than 300 turkeys to our DDSB kids and their families! This wonderful organization focuses on addressing food insecurity and supporting youth mental health—two vital areas that play a crucial role in the success of our Durham students. I look forward to continuing to collaborate and work with them to support food security and youth mental health in our Durham community. Durham District School Board Ignite Durham Learning Foundation
A huge thank you to everyone who made yesterday's initiative a resounding success! I’m excited to share that, in partnership with the Toronto Catholic District School Board and the Durham District School Board, we donated 1,000 turkeys to families in Toronto and Durham. This incredible feat was organized by the Good Vibes Foundation, and thanks to our generous donors and sponsors, we nearly tripled the number of turkeys donated from last year! 🦃 A special shout out to all the amazing volunteers and the dedicated school board staff who helped make this happen. Your hard work and commitment ensured that 1,000 families will enjoy a hearty holiday meal. Together, we are spreading good vibes and making a real difference in our communities. Thank you all for your support and generosity!
