About the Foundation
The Sacré Cœur Foundation was established in 2004 with a heartfelt mission: to support our students and enhance their educational journey. Led by a dedicated Board of Directors, the Foundation works tirelessly to provide the School with the resources needed to uphold its commitment to excellence in education.
At its core, the Foundation is about fostering a compassionate and supportive community. With a deep belief in the transformative power of a Sacred Heart education, the Foundation strives to create opportunities that benefit both our students and society through the provision of additional capital resources.
By supporting the Sacré Cœur Foundation, you help ensure that every student has access to the best possible resources, programs and facilities to thrive and succeed.
Together, we are building a bright future for generations of Sacré Cœur students.
