Fund Raising

The Calgary Youth Science Fair Society is supported through the generous donations of several sponsors in addition to the funds which are available to the Society through the operation of a casino.

The Society is fortunate to have outstanding support from several sponsors in the Calgary community; these are listed on the Sponsor Page of this website.

The Society is registered with the Government of Alberta and with Government of Canada Revenue Agency. We recognize all donations to the science fair with a thank you letter and a tax receipt is issued for all donations received by the society.

Donations may be made by cheque, online, or by contacting us:

• Your cheque should be made out to Calgary Youth Science Fair Society and mailed to:

             Calgary Youth Science Fair Society

All sponsors are recognized at the Science Fair through inclusion in a power point program which is run throughout the science fair and at the awards ceremony. In addition the names of sponsors are placed in our Info Paper which circulates to all participants and members of the public who attend the fair and the sponsors are listed on the sponsor page of this web site.

The Calgary Science Fair also receives annual income from the Youth Science Fair Endowment Fund which is held by The Calgary Foundation. The interest generated by this fund helps to support a portion of the operating costs of the science fair.

The Society will celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Calgary Science Fair in 2010 - 2011 and has set a goal of growing the endowment fund to $1,000,000 to celebrate this milestone. Once we reach this goal, the endowment fund revenue will assist the Society in funding the majority of our operational costs with less dependence on local sponsorship and the bi-annual casino.

All donations to the Endowment Fund will be recognized on the CYSF web site and in future editions of the InfoPaper unless anonymity is requested.  If you have questions about the endowment fund and how you might support it, please contact us at the CYSF website and a member of the Society will respond to your questions as quickly as possible.
