The Columbia Valley Community Foundation is a member ofp Community Foundations of Canada (CFC)
The Columbia Valley Community Foundation is grateful for the support we get, our community gets, we all get, from the Columbia Basin Trust!
The Columbia Valley Community Foundation is thankful to the Kootenay Savings Foundation for partnering with the CVCF so that together, with the support of the good and giving people in our community, and those part time residents that we embrace and who make our community their community for part of the year, we can make the Columbia Valley the best place it can be!
The Foundation invests gifts from donors, primarily in permanent endowments funds, and distributes income to deserving, worthwhile charities.
The principles of compassion, fairness, integrity, accountability and approachability guide the Foundation.
For our philanthropic donors this is a permanent organization with a broad, dynamic mandate, which is used to channel the income from tax-deductible donations into areas of the community with the greatest needs.
This is primarily a permanent pool of capital from which the investment income is deployed to various charitable organizations in our communities that satisfy important local objectives, and meet the granting qualifications.
Because of its large overall view and permanent long-term nature, the Foundation is well suited to work on a local basis to identify community values, support human development, provide influence for positive change and enrich the diverse life of the Columbia Valley.
