Why your gift matters

Public education is the backbone of equitable opportunity. When we strengthen our schools, we strengthen Canada’s future.

But meaningful progress depends on ongoing evidence-based policy and research, advocacy, and community engagement — the very work that defines People for Education.

Annie poured her heart into building People for Education. Now, you can be part of the next chapter — affirming that our mission continues with momentum. A gift today is a tribute to Annie’s legacy and a vote for sustainable impact.

"It has been the privilege of a lifetime to lead this work. For nearly three decades, I’ve seen firsthand how essential strong public education is to Canada’s future, and how important it is to have solid evidence to back up calls for change. I am deeply proud of what we’ve built together, and grateful to the countless people who have been part of this effort."
