The Killarney Parent Fundraising Society (KPFS) is a registered Canadian charity and raises money to support the Killarney School Council’s (KSC) initiatives to enrich Montessori education at Killarney School. Funds are invested in Montessori materials, technology, educational initiatives and events that enhance our students’ experiences.

The KSC is committed to getting the most value from all donations. We appreciate that time is valuable for families, so we ask for direct contributions only once per school year. We do not ask Killarney families to sell anything during the school year. Although there may be an occasional bake sale event, parents and caregivers are not asked to solicit friends and neighbours to buy perogies, chocolate almonds or subscriptions! Our annual approach to fundraising allows everyone to make the most of their time and donations. Tax receipts are provided for any donation dollar amount, as we are a registered Canadian charity.
We accept online donations at our GoFundMe page or by cheque made payable to the Killarney Parent Fundraising Society.
If you have missed the official Fundraising Campaign, don’t worry! Donations are accepted throughout the year through the GoFundMe page, direct contributions, and employer programs like Benevity and the United Way.
All donations are welcome and appreciated!
