WELCOME

We're now in our second decade serving our vibrant community: from Coombs/Errington to Lasqueti Island; from Deep Bay to Departure Bay; from Parksville to Qualicum Beach; and all of the communities and neighbourhoods within. We'd like to hear from you.

We're a member of the Community Foundations of Canada, the national voice representing more than 170 community foundations across the country. Together, community foundations help Canadians invest in building strong, resilient and vibrant places to live, work and play.

Three important factors distinguish our work from that of the many other organizations working for better communities:

We bring donors to the table as community builders, and help them formulate and realize their philanthropic goals, matching their interests and concerns with community needs and organizations, and finding innovative and responsible ways to give their investments lasting impact.
We take the broadest view of what a community is and what it needs to succeed. This is why our grants support everything from shelter, sustenance and care for those most in need, to recreation, the arts and environment.
We take the long-term view for our communities. We identify long-term needs and opportunities and invest in sustainable solutions, helping our communities become resilient, resourceful and ready for the future they want.
