Established in 1995, the Prince George Community Foundation manages charitable gifts from donors whose generosity allows us to create permanent income-earning funds. The proceeds from these funds are distributed as grants to charitable organizations throughout our community. We, the Prince George Community Foundation, are passionate about our community and are entrusted with its future, a responsibility we take to heart. Our goal is to build a resilient, healthy, philanthropic community and we aim to achieve this through our three strategic goals: 1. The development of a sustainably managed endowment 2. Strategic grant giving to projects that make an impact to our community 3. Demonstrating community leadership We have six key areas of support: 1. Arts & Culture 2. Environment 3. Health 4. Recreation 5. Social Services 6. Sports The Community Foundation brings together people who care about their community. The original vision for the Foundation was imagined by a group of passionate community leaders and that mandate is carried on today by our board of directors, our lifetime and honourary members, and small but mighty staff team. The Foundation hosts several engagement events every year to recognize community leadership, the efforts of charitable organizations throughout Prince George, to thank sponsors and partners, and to continue to raise funds for future giving back to our community: - Citizens of the Year Gala - FARR/WIC Golf Tournament - Grant Award Receptions - Vital Conversations

It was great to attend the BC Community Foundation Gathering in Vancouver last week. Thanks to the Vancouver Foundation for hosting! I had the pleasure of being on the lunchtime panel to discuss our relationship with our municipality and then lead a session on Fundraising best practices. It was so great to reconnect with old colleagues and meet some new ones! Prince George Community Foundation

The Prince George Community Foundation is deeply saddened by the passing of Horst Sander. Horst was the 1999 Citizen of the Year recipient and an Honorary member of the Foundation. Horst was a dedicated advocate for our community, demonstrating unwavering belief in the people of Prince George and the work they accomplish. Even in retirement, he remained actively engaged. Horst made a huge impact in the lives of everyone he met and we are so grateful for his friendship and enduring commitment to the Foundation. Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family during this difficult time. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Sander Family Fund through the Prince George Community Foundation here: https://lnkd.in/gC84nV3R
