CPA Manitoba | November 27, 2025
As 2025 draws to a close, the CPA Manitoba Foundation is calling on donors to make their year-end gift and help transform the lives of aspiring CPAs.
Your generosity provides more than bursaries or awards — it provides hope, access, and opportunity. It gives students the ability to focus on their education rather than financial barriers, and the confidence to pursue their CPA dreams, knowing they are not alone.
Consider the single mother from Kazakhstan who balanced raising her children while navigating life in a new country — with the Foundation’s support, she is building a future as a CPA. Or the student who escaped war-torn Sri Lanka with her two young children — thanks to donor generosity, she persevered and achieved her CPA designation. Donor support has also created welcoming and empowering pathways for Indigenous students pursuing the designation.
“Receiving this award provided immense support, both financially and emotionally. It motivated me to continue my CPA journey, knowing I’m not alone. As an immigrant from Ukraine, one of my biggest challenges was the language barrier—I struggled to express myself in English during my last exam. After separating from my husband and raising two children, I also faced financial difficulties, but I was determined to pursue my dream. The loan I took to cover course fees and exam costs wasn’t enough, and this award has been crucial in helping me move forward.” – Iryna M., CPA Candidate
These are not just stories. They are lived experiences made possible by donors like you.
With the Canada Post strike affecting traditional mail, many gifts are delayed or at risk of not arriving at all. To ensure your support reaches students without interruption, please make your year-end donation securely online at CPAmb.ca/foundation.
Every gift, no matter the size, has the power to open doors, inspire dreams, and strengthen Manitoba’s future. Please don’t delay — your timely support ensures that together, we can continue to change lives. Visit our website to learn more about how you can make a difference.
