CPA Education Foundation

Foundation iconAs a non-profit organization, our mandate is to strengthen the future of the accounting profession in Alberta through partnerships by supporting business education and students, and the incubation of innovative ideas. 

 

Each year, the Foundation provides up to $1.2 million in support of that mandate.

We do this by bestowing: grants to post-secondary business schools; scholarships and awards to students; financial support for accounting research; and programs to recognize and honour Alberta’s best accounting educators.


A dynamic Alberta education ecosystem with engaged donors, inspired students, and motivated educators that fosters learning excellence in business and accounting for a thriving CPA profession.

Through the generosity of donors and Alberta CPAs, the Foundation shapes accounting education for a thriving CPA profession by:

  1. Supporting the incubation of innovative ideas;
  2. Engaging in impactful partnerships;
  3. Providing funding for learners and educators; and
  4. Creating connections between past, present, and future CPAs.
