The Comox Valley Community Foundation is marking a major milestone this spring – moving into a new central location to better serve the Comox Valley for generations to come.
The purchase of the new office space – at 917C Fitzgerald Ave. in Courtenay – is a first for the Foundation, marking its first permanent home in the Comox Valley in nearly 30 years.
“This location is more than just a new address—it’s an investment in our future, our partners, and the non-profit organizations we serve every day.” said Board Chair Craig Rennison.
The Community Foundation had previously operated out of temporary leased space at The Views in Comox.
The Courtenay location ensures that the Foundation remains a central hub, allowing them to more easily connect and collaborate with partners while responding to community needs.
Since 1996, the Community Foundation has connected generous donors and supporters to distribute more than $7 million to organizations throughout the Comox Valley. The new space will allow them to grow their mission to enrich life in the Comox Valley for all.
Designed to be welcoming and easy to reach, the new offices are within walking distance of many of the non-profits and organizations they are proud to support.
“I’m so grateful for the many organizations, donors, and board members whose ongoing support strengthens our ability to serve so many nonprofits across the Comox Valley,” said Jolean Finnerty, Executive Director of the Community Foundation. “A special thank you to Cameron Contracting — their generosity and in-kind support truly made our new home a reality.”
The new offices are open Monday to Thursday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., with parking available on Fitzgerald Ave. and in the lot behind the building.
