Grant and Funding Programs Offered by North Shore Community Foundation

North Shore Community Foundation plays a place-based funding role for North and West Vancouver, Lion s Bay and Bowen Island. Its community grants help qualified organizations address local needs in areas such as housing, wellness, health support, cultural programming, recreation, education and social connection. The foundation builds and administers permanent capital, then uses investment income and donor partnerships to support projects that improve quality of life on the North Shore. This creates an important complement to government and corporate funding, especially for smaller community groups that need locally informed decisions and flexible support. By maintaining an annual grant pathway and a record of community giving, the foundation keeps philanthropic capital tied to the region and helps local nonprofits plan credible projects.
