Who is the Parksville-Qualicum Community Foundation

The Parksville-Qualicum Community Foundation was established in 1999 with a mandate of providing grant support to a wide range of local community programs -- from health, education and social services to arts, culture and the environment. 

Our Vision is to build permanent endowment funds totaling $5 million dollars by the year 2020. The income earned on these funds would allow $250,000 in grants to community activities every year.

The Parksville-Qualicum Community Foundation is dedicated to enriching and strengthening the communities in District 69.

The Parksville-Qualicum Community Foundation is a non-profit, tax-exempt grantmaking organization. It is governed by an independent, voluntary board of directors, broadly representative of the community.

The Foundation:

• pools the charitable gifts of many donors into permanent, income-earning endowment funds to benefit the community. Expenditures are customarily made from earnings rather than capital, thus ensuring future ability to support deserving community efforts.
• initiates desirable community projects and makes grants from the earnings on invested funds to support a wide range of local initiatives -- health, education and social services, arts, culture, heritage and the environment.
• provides leadership to the community by bringing people together from all sectors to identify and address community issues and by serving as a resource for grant information.
