About
Pen & Paper Foundation
A Calgary-based nonprofit working on projects in education and community infrastructure.
What we do
Pen & Paper Foundation operates in Calgary, Alberta. Our current focus is Al-Amal Academy — the first accredited Islamic school in NW Calgary — built and run in partnership with the Prairie Land Public School Division.
We were originally constituted as a charity. Today the foundation operates without that charitable designation, concentrating its resources on a single highlighted initiative rather than broad-based fundraising.
In the pursuit of excellence
The foundation's guiding philosophy is short and load-bearing: in the pursuit of excellence. We measure our work by what it produces over decades, not quarters — institutions our community can rely on, and graduates who carry that standard forward.
Governance
The foundation is steered by an Academic Council of physicians, engineers, scholars and community organizers — people whose decades of service in Calgary inform every decision we make.
