Bowen Island Community Foundation

Enriching the quality of life on Bowen Island

What is the Bowen Island Community Foundation?

The Bowen Island Community Foundation, a non-governmental community foundation, was founded in 2001 and received its Tax Status in December 2002. It is a collection of funds that form a permanent endowment for charitable purposes. The Foundation administers funds, through the Vancouver Foundation, which come from bequests, living donors, endowments or nonprofit organizations and other gifts. Grants are made from income generated from the investment of the funds. The Foundation helps to develop projects on our wonderful island community.

How do we operate?

A seven-member Board of Directors is responsible for the overall policies and practices of the Foundation.

The Distribution Committee is made up of volunteers with knowledge and expertise in five fields of interest:

Arts and Culture
Environment and Parks
Health and Welfare
Education and Youth
Seniors

The Investment Committee works through the Vancouver Foundation, who manages hundreds of millions of dollars each year, and takes responsibility for the Foundation's investments and for its general administration.
