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.

In 2003, fifteen donors became Founding Pillars of the Vancouver Heritage Foundation by donating $10,000 each to seed the Foundation's Endowment Fund at the Vancouver Foundation. Over the next 3-5 years the Vancouver Heritage Foundation hopes to raise a $2 Million Endowment Fund. Along with funds granted to the Foundation by the City of Vancouver, over $250,000 was put into the new Endowment Fund.
