You can support the causes closest to your heart without having to choose a specific charity. By directing your gift to a Focus Area, our experts and advisors will ensure your gift responds to the most relevant, pressing needs of the community — now and into the future.

Everyone should have access to the things they need to feel safe, healthy, and like they belong. In reality, many people face unfair barriers. A person’s class and income levels, the colour of their skin, their culture, who they’re attracted to, their gender, their abilities, and more can mean society doesn’t give them the same opportunities to participate.

Thankfully, donors like you can increase access to social programs for these community members. When you fund charities for social services, the focus area experts at Vancouver Foundation can direct the funds where they are needed most. Let’s help create healthy, safe and supportive environments for people and their families.
