One of the most satisfying aspects of our activities is the award of grants to a variety of social service, recreational, cultural and environmental groups serving the North Shore.

COMMUNITY GRANTS
A portion of the investment income earned from the endowment funds entrusted to the Foundation is awarded annually on a discretionary basis in the form of various community grants. Community Grants go toward supporting a wide range of good causes; some grants must be awarded for women, seniors, for sports and recreation, arts and culture and so forth, according to the terms of the underlying endowment trust agreements.
Applications: We welcome applications for grants assistance from interested parties. These applications are reviewed by our Grants Committee which evaluates the projects and recommends those most worthy to our Board for approval.

Directed Trust Fund Accounts for Charities and
Non-Profits
Charities and non-profit organizations with trust funds held by the Foundation can expect to receive their grant cheques by June 30th each year. In most instances, no formal application is required since the determination of how the funds will be applied is governed by an underlying agreement or by an independent board of trustees. The following funds fall into this ‘directed’ category:
North Vancouver District Public Library
North Vancouver Museum & Archives
St. Martin’s Church Fund
North Vancouver Community Arts Centre
North Shore Neighbourhood House
Capilano Golf Endowment Fund
District of North Vancouver Community
Heritage Grants Fund
Evergreen House Music Fund
Fund for the Arts of the North Shore
