Role of The TOOB in the funding ecosystem
The TOOB is a nonprofit charitable organization serving the South Delta community in Delta, British Columbia. Since 1984, it has organized fundraising activities and catering services in order to generate revenue that is then donated back to the community. According to its materials, 100% of all profits raised by TOOB are distributed in the year they are made, positioning the organization as a local distributor of charitable funds rather than a fundholder.
TOOB’s mission is to provide assistance to South Deltans in need, either directly or through worthy charitable organizations. It primarily supports residents of South Delta, focusing on young people, seniors and individuals facing hardship, while also assisting other community-serving organizations.
Types of financial support and beneficiaries
The TOOB directs its funding in several ways. It donates cash to a range of charities and community organizations, such as BC Guide Dogs, Canadian Mental Health Association, Delta Community Living Society, Delta Hospital Foundation, Kin Village Community Centre and REACH Child and Youth Development. These contributions are drawn from funds raised through events and catering activities.
In addition to organizational grants, TOOB provides annual bursaries to deserving students at South Delta Secondary and Delta Secondary schools to support their post‑secondary education. The organization also supplies medical items, food items and financial support to individuals who are in need, reflecting a mix of project-based and direct relief funding.
Funding sources and operations
TOOB’s financial resources come primarily from community fundraising events and catering services it provides at local activities and for other groups. The organization also applies for Community Gaming Grant funds to supplement its own fundraising revenue. Governance is handled by an elected executive and board of directors, with members meeting annually and the executive meeting monthly to plan events and oversee allocations.
While the website does not present a formal open-call grant program with application guidelines, it clearly documents TOOB’s ongoing pattern of charitable donations, bursaries and direct assistance. Prospective partners, beneficiaries or volunteers are invited to contact the organization via email or mail to engage with its community support initiatives.
