What We Do
The Central Okanagan Foundation provides ongoing support to the charitable sector. We provide funding for charitable projects that benefit our community. We can only accomplish this with the financial support of our donors. Only you can help us make a difference.
Our mission is to provide an ongoing contribution to the quality of life in our community through the stewardship of entrusted funds, grant making and community leadership.
Community foundations are among the fastest-growing forms of philanthropy in Canada today.
All gifts both large and small are pooled and then invested. The investment income is distributed as grants to local charitable organizations. The capital is never touched and continues to grow with each new gift, generating income that meets a wide range of community needs for years to come.
In this unique way your donation is not just a charitable gift for today; but also for tomorrow… and forever!
As community foundations are registered with the Canada Revenue Agency as tax-exempt public foundations they are publicly accountable for the funds they manage and can provide tax receipts for gifts received.
