Bowen Island Community Foundation

Donations and Charity for Bowen Island

Donors can either make a general gift to the Foundation or establish a Named Fund. The threshold requirement to establish a fund is $10,000.

There are four types of funds:

Community Fund: This fund is the heart of the Foundation. Built by both small and large donations, it is designed to have maximum flexibility in order to respond to changing community needs. All undesignated contributions are added to this fund.
Named Fund: Donors can choose to make a large donation and establish a new fund named for its donor, as a memorial to a loved one, or a field of interest. The BICF will make grants from the fund in accordance with the donor’s wishes. The Bowen Island Community Foundation is proud to administer Named Funds for the Bowen Island Junior Golf Scholarship Fund and for the Community Hall and Arts Centre (CHAC) Operating Endowment Fund.
Funds Under Management: Charitable organizations and educational institutions can place their endowment fund for management with the Bowen Island Community Foundation.
Operating Fund: This helps to pay for the operations of the Foundation, thus keeping administrative fees low and maximizing available charitable dollars. Donors to the Operating Fund are designated as Community Sponsors of the Foundation.
