Giving Tuesday

Today is GivingTuesday, a global giving movement that inspires people to support and champion the causes they believe in and the communities in which they live. This GivingTuesday, we invite you to give in any way you can—whether it’s volunteering your time and skills, participating in acts of kindness, or supporting a cause that you care about.  

Vancity Community Foundation is committed to using and leveraging social finance tools, providing innovative support to non-profit organizations, and advocating for policies that help make life more just and affordable. With your support, we can deepen the work of the foundation across our three key priorities. How will you make a difference today?
