Vancouver Heritage Foundation: created as a private, charitable organization in 1992 by the Mayor and Council of the City of Vancouver, who remain its honorary patrons until today. Under the direction of a private citizen Board of Directors, the Foundation assists with the conservation of Vancouver's built heritage, in recognition of its public benefit.

How you can help………

Make a lasting gift to the Vancouver Heritage Foundation through a contribution to the Heritage Conservation Endowment Fund. Help to create a legacy of heritage buildings for future generations while meeting your own financial and personal charitable goals.

Endowments are gifts of real property, cash, securities, and bequests that provide ongoing funding for the programs of the VHF. Tours, lectures, workshops, and granting programs such as True Colours and Restore It! all benefit from the revenue stream generated by interest from the Heritage Conservation Endowment fund.

Gifts of $10,000 and greater can be directed to the endowment fund. Pledges to the Heritage Conservation Endowment Fund can be paid over a few years. The annual interest generated from the gift or principal, in turn, is used by the VHF as you have designated, for the tours, lectures, workshops, and granting programs. The principal remains untouched in perpetuity, and only the interest is used. In other words, your endowment will exist forever, creating a lasting legacy. An endowment gift can be made during your lifetime or through an estate gift.

Recognizing Your Gift:

To recognize your gift, the endowment fund can be named in honour of a loved one. Each year, the VHF will report back to you on the endowment and the use of the funds.
Your gift will be recognized in the Vancouver Heritage Foundation’s Annual Report
A tax receipt will be issued to you for the full amount of your gift

The Vancouver Heritage Foundation sincerely appreciates the generosity of our endowment donors.
