Why give to the community foundation?

Quite simply the mission of the Comox Valley Community Foundation (CVCF) is to enhance the quality of life in our community. This means that your gifts, large or small, are able to provide support for local charitable needs, programs and services.

As an independent registered philanthropic institution, the Foundation invests your gifts, along with others, to create a source of income that can be accessed in perpetuity, through a granting process, by local charitable organizations. By giving through the CVCF, you are providing a legacy of support for future generations.

This year alone the Foundation will be disbursing over $130,000 to a variety of local organizations. Included in this amount are scholarships and bursaries that will be awarded to local students attending secondary schools and North Island College.

Since 1996, the Foundation has provided financial support for dozens of local charitable organizations. Large and small, these organizations make a positive impact in the community by providing services and opportunities that have enhanced the quality of life for thousands of people.

By giving through the Foundation you are afforded an efficient, flexible and convenient means of supporting your community. Governed by a volunteer board of directors who represent a cross section of interests and skills, the Foundation is able to focus in on the key issues, projects and services of charitable organizations that will best serve the people they support.

Local families, individuals and businesses have either established funds or contributed to the general fund so that they can achieve their charitable giving goals. Combined, their generosity has helped to grow the Foundation’s total investment assets from $50,000 in 1996 to over $4 million today. This commitment is what has allowed the Foundation to provide tens of thousands of dollars in grants each year.
