Every donation to Vancouver Heritage Foundation is gratefully appreciated and are instrumental to the success of our programs. We accept donations year round to help support our educational programming, our Heritage in Schools program, our special programs like Places That Matter and the Heritage Site Finder, grants and more. Did you know: Our staff and operating costs are covered by other revenue streams like program fees and operating grant funding.
We’ve worked to continue direct support for heritage places with our grant programs so that conservation work, and new publications can proceed, supporting local jobs. Heritage places connect us to our city and neighbourhoods, to local history and to each other.
Gifts of $1,000 or more per annum are considered major donors. To show our appreciation, major gift donors receive complimentary tickets to events each year. Your gift will also be recognized on our website and in our Annual Report.
Annual Fundraising Campaigns
Each year we grow our impact through multiple avenues, including direct consultation with the City of Vancouver on heritage considerations in housing policy. On behalf of our board and staff, we thank you for your support of Vancouver Heritage Foundation. Donors like you are what allows us to continue our work, keep heritage top-of-mind, and inspire the next generation of heritage lovers.
