Fundraising

Northlea is committed to a variety of fundraising activities from which funds are used to support school and staff, to increase student success, and to enrich the educational experience of our children. Over the years, through the generosity of Northlea families and the community, many thousands of dollars have been raised and disbursed to the school, local charities and international projects.

A predetermined small percentage of funds raised is also committed to ongoing community projects and charities; People for Education and the Thorncliffe Breakfast Program. Money raised during the last few years has also funded School-based projects such as enhancements to the Kindergarten play area, resources for the Music department and the Phys Ed department, additional Graded Reading central resources, Smart Boards, Kobe Touch e-readers, and much more.

The largest fundraising event at Northlea is the Spring Fling Event spring term. It attracts both school and community families, who raise money through a range of varied activities like a silent auction, raffle baskets, class activities, business and personal sponsorships, and by selling tickets to many locally hosted social events called the Northlea Social Series.

FlipGive is a website that allows supporters to do online shopping AND shop for Gift Cards all while giving back to our school! Simply go through the Northlea link listed below. This will take you to the FlipGive fundraising page specific to Northlea Home and School. Click the retailer of your choice and start shopping or purchase gift cards. A percentage of every dollar spent goes back to the Northlea Home & School Association, but varies from store to store as well as varies on gift cards versus just shopping. For example, on FlipGive, if you buy a gift card for Indigo, the donation to the school is of a higher percentage through the purchase of Indigo Gift Cards than it is just by shopping for items at Indigo through the site.Gift cards can be emailed in paper form to make gift giving super easy or easy to redeem if you want to buy a gift card and then use it right away. You will find many popular retailers such as Indigo, Apple and Sykzone, to name just a few.
