Grant and Funding Programs Offered by Langley Rotary Clubs Charitable Foundation (LRCCF)

The Langley Rotary Clubs Charitable Foundation (LRCCF) is the financial umbrella for the four Rotary clubs in the Langleys, British Columbia: Aldergrove, Langley, Langley Central and Langley Sunrise, plus the Langley Satellite club. Created as a registered charitable foundation, it receives donations and legacy gifts that are eligible for Canadian tax receipts and channels these funds to community projects and partner organizations in Langley and beyond.

The foundation oversees major fundraising initiatives such as Langley RibFest and the Langley Hoop-A-Thon. These high‑profile events generate significant revenue, which is then directed toward social, educational, health and youth-focused initiatives. The site highlights support for a wide range of local and international charities, illustrating LRCCF’s role as a community grantmaker and funding hub for Rotary’s service work.

Through the combined efforts of the four Rotary clubs, LRCCF contributes to food security, youth development, arts and culture, health care, inclusion, literacy and international aid. Examples include support for Starfish Backpacks for children experiencing food insecurity, youth recognition through the SASSY Awards, local health and social service agencies, and literacy projects abroad. While the site does not present a formal open-call grant program, it clearly shows that funds raised under the foundation’s umbrella are redistributed to numerous organizations and projects each year.

Founded on November 7, 2012, the foundation’s vision is to “do good in the Langleys and beyond,” and its mission is to inspire people of good will to donate. Each Rotary club appoints delegates to the LRCCF board, ensuring broad community representation in funding decisions. Individuals and families are encouraged to consider legacy giving so their estates can continue supporting Rotary’s charitable work in the community. Donors can give through the foundation’s online donation channels or by contacting the board via the general email address.
