As a private foundation, Koru Pacific Foundation serves as an intermediary that channels charitable funding from donors to registered Canadian charities and international development projects. The foundation was established to help children and families with access to essential services including food, shelter, basic infrastructure, education, and health care.
The foundation supports organizations working in two primary regions: locally in British Columbia, Canada, and internationally in Zambia. Key focus areas include education (school construction, learning centers, educational sponsorships), food security (weekend meal programs for children), healthcare (medical facilities, volunteer medical teams), and shelter (safe housing for vulnerable populations).
The foundation organizes annual fundraising campaigns including Kilimanjaro for Kids (mountain climbing challenge) and Camino for Kids (pilgrimage walk), with documented success in exceeding fundraising goals.
The foundation operates entirely on a volunteer basis with no full-time staff. All administrative costs are fully funded by Koru Pacific Development Ltd., ensuring that 100% of every dollar donated goes directly to charitable initiatives. The foundation holds Canadian registered charity status.
