Every donation to Vancouver Heritage Foundation is gratefully received and every dollar makes a difference. 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.
Heritage places can connect us to our city and neighbourhoods, to local history and to each other.
Throughout the pandemic, we have adapted plans and embraced new technology, taking events virtual, and developing and highlighting other ways to explore and learn about Vancouver’s history and heritage. We’ve worked to continue direct support for heritage places with our grant programs so that conservation work, energy retrofits and new publications can proceed, supporting local jobs.
Thank you to all of our generous donors.
