What We Fund

How We Work

Every year, we fund projects to help build healthy, vibrant, and equitable communities across British Columbia and Canada.

While many of our grants reflect long-term commitments, registered Canadian charities are invited to apply for funding that supports health, education, and community-based programs. Each application is reviewed on its own merits and evaluated against the Foundation’s current endowment commitments.  We do not provide grants to individuals, political campaigns, legislative lobbying efforts, or projects that serve exclusively religious purposes.

As the Foundation receives a high volume of submissions each year, we are only able to support a portion of applicants.  Applications are typically reviewed twice annually, at the end of March and November. All applications should be submitted in writing to:
