Not Everyone Can Finish High School

The Community Support for Students Program (CSSP) is on a mission to transform the lives of hardworking high school students facing financial challenges. Your generosity can make a world of difference in their futures.

Why Your Contribution Matters

Every year, countless talented students are on the brink of dropping out due to financial hardships. CSSP steps in to help these dedicated your people with the resources they need to complete their education. With 100% of your donation going directly to students, you can be confident that your support will create a tangible impact.

The Power of the Compass Award

Through our Compass Award, students chosen by their school for their hard work receive ten monthly payments of $100, deposited directly into their bank accounts. This assistance not only alleviates financial stress but also teaches invaluable lessons in budgeting and financial planning. Your contribution helps instill a sense of independence and hope, empowering these young individuals to uplift themselves and their families.

Meet Our Students

Imagine a bright student, full of potential, whose dreams of graduation are at risk due to a lack of funds. With your help, we can change that narrative. Our program targets those who have demonstrated commitment and resilience—students who are determined to succeed despite the odds stacked against them.  

Real Impact, Real Stories

Each recipient of the Compass Award is required to share their journey at the end of the school year. These letters are powerful reminders of how your support can change lives. From pursuing higher education to finding stable employment, the impact of your donation echoes far beyond high school graduation.

"The award also gave me the opportunity to engage more fully in my studies and extracurricular activities, without the constant worry of how I would manage my daily expenses."

"It's also supported my travel to and from my school, during the winter especially when walking isn't an option."

" I have been living on my own, temporarily taking care of my sister, fortunately, I managed to find a great deal on rent in Toronto and with the addition of The Compass Foundation’s contribution, I was able to comfortably maneuver my sister and me around that segment in our lives. So on behalf of me and my sister, I extend a tremendous amount of gratitude."
