Endowment 150

Launch: 2015

Endowment 150 helps British Columbians with disabilities to learn about and access tax benefits that will help them save for the future. We fund this program in partnership with Plan Institute, Disability Alliance of BC, and the British Columbia Aboriginal Network on Disability Society. As part of this initiative, Plan Institute distributed a one-time $150 gift to help low-income BC residents with disabilities start growing their RDSP.
