In 2024 we took part in delivering the Community Prosperity Fund a $25 million investment from the Government of B.C. that advances poverty reduction and social inclusion in local communities.

The initiative recognized how non-profits are vital to people and communities in B.C. The program supports organizations with funding for up to three years to drive positive change in our communities. North Shore Community Foundation was assigned $715,000 for granting in North Vancouver.


North Shore Community Foundation received over forty applications from across North Vancouver for a range of initiatives working to address poverty, support vulnerable members of our community, along with strengthening a sense of belonging. 


Thank you to all the applicants and program operators across the North Shore.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The North Shore Community Foundation humbly recognizes that we operate on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Squamish Nation (Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw) and Tsleil-Waututh Nation (səlilwətaɬ).  We pay our respects and extend our gratitude to the Indigenous peoples who have stewarded these lands through generations. We are dedicated to creating community impact and nurturing relationships that contribute to meaningful Reconciliation.

We pledge to collaborate with Indigenous communities to build a future that honours and commemorates their history, culture, and contributions. Our initiatives are designed to create a lasting influence that fosters Reconciliation and fortifies the ties within our collective community.
