Fundraising in Schools in Manitoba Report

To better understand perspectives surrounding school fundraising, People for Public Ed Manitoba distributed a survey in May 2024 for parents or guardians of students currently enrolled in Manitoba public schools. The survey was answered by 56 people and focused on their experiences with and perspectives of fundraising in public school. Note that school fundraising was defined as raising money or collecting resources to supplement taxation-based public funding and excludes fundraising for outside charities, such as Terry Fox runs.
