Welcome...

Why are we growing a Community Foundation?

Because it....

• Helps newborns develop and grow;
• Assists the elderly in staying active and independent;
• Supports places where families can learn and play together;
• Helps insure support systems are there when we need them;
• Assists in preserving history - natural and man-made;
• Encourages youth to be active community citizens;
• Supports art and education throughout our lives;
• Assists in the protection and humane treatment of animals;
• Helps look after green spaces and landscapes;
• Responds to evolving community needs and opportunities;
• Helps people give back to the community

And because it will be here  - forever!

Throughout the region, there is a growing interest in the establishment of legacy endowment funds and in community foundations as a forward-thinking way of supporting community needs and opportunities forever.

It is our great pleasure to introduce you to the community Foundation of the South Okanagan and to share our story with you.

Thank you for your visit and enjoy our website.
