The GVSCU Legacy Foundation is an independent, endowed Foundation. It was incorporated in 2009 in commemoration of the Greater Victoria Savings Credit Union and its long history of charitable work in the Greater Victoria area.
Story
In 2006–2007, neighbours and community activists worked hard to preserve their much-loved Salsbury Garden, but were unable to save it from the pressures of development. Now, a decade later, a couple of those people have partnered with Vancity Community Foundation to create a Donor Advised Fund in the garden’s name.
Fund
The goals of the Salsbury Garden Fund are to provide support to groups helping children and youth in need in East Vancouver --- particularly to promote food security, a love of books and reading, of nature, of animals, and of music. As well, the Fund will encourage Britannia Secondary students to go to college/university.
Fund
BGH Community Fund supports programs and initiatives that promote community economic development. Priority will be given to projects which help alleviate poverty, foster self-reliance (self sufficiency) and help recipients gain confidence and power.
