Currently, we focus our support in these main areas:

• Helping Women at Risk
• Brighter Futures for Children and Youth

Our Grantee portfolio also demonstrates that we are diverse in our funding and are always interested in new and innovative ways to tackle social problems.

Our goal is to work with organizations that can make the most of the resources we have to offer. We are looking for organizations with strong leadership and a clear strategic vision. Our Partners want to make an essential, catalyzing contribution to your organization, and thus projects that substantially incorporate this opportunity are more likely to be successful.

We also grant mezzanine funding to second-stage social enterprises through the BC Social Enterprise Fund. Application is by invitation only. Please contact the Executive Director if you feel your organization may be a fit.

Eligibility
To qualify for a grant, your organization must have CCRA charitable status and serve communities in Vancouver’s Lower Mainland.

We do not consider grant requests from individuals, sports teams, religious organizations with sectarian purposes, or organizations that discriminate on the basis of race, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, or physical ability.

We also do not make grants for auctions or fundraising events, debt reduction, endowment funds or capital campaigns, litigation or legal expenses, land acquisition, productions or performances, candidates seeking political office, or activities designed to influence legislation.
