Double your gift. Double your opportunities.
Where to place your charitable support can be a tough decision. You'd like to support the causes you care about most, and want to know that your donation will make a real difference.
Vancouver Foundation knows there are many factors that help create a healthy, vibrant, and supportive community for all. That's why we fund projects in a wide variety of fields:
- Animal Welfare
- Arts and Culture
- Children, Youth and Families
- Education
- Environment
- Health and Social Development
- Health and Medical Education/Research
- Youth Homelessness
- Youth Philanthropy
With over 100 volunteers, all experts in their fields, helping us carefully review all funding requests, we ensure dollars are being used effectively and efficiently.
Through the generosity of an anonymous donor, Vancouver Foundation is able to match, dollar-for-dollar, every gift of $1,000 or more (up to $10,000 per person).
You have the option of giving to one or more of the above fields, or to the Community Impact Fund, which supports current and emerging needs in all fields. With your help, innovative community-based initiatives can take place.
Double your gift, and double your impact to make a real difference in your community both today and in the future.
