"Through the years men have sought by private philanthropy to ease the more pressing needs of the community.  Some have been wealthy; others of moderate and even modest means.  All have shared the common desire to return to their community a portion of what has been received by them."

W.J. Van Dusen, 1889 - 1978

All gifts to the West Vancouver Community Foundation are tax deductible and we provide convenient and flexible ways for you to contribute.

For instance, you can:

• Develop and contribute to a named fund, which will allow you to make a gift or scholarship in your family or company name.
• Make a gift in memory of a friend of relative.
• Make an outright gift of cash, securities, real estate or life insurance.
• Provide a bequest in your will.
• Through the United Way, you can direct your donation to the West Vancouver Community Foundation.

 For any of these options, you can choose to make your donation to our general fund or our administrative fund.  You may choose to develop a named fund, which will, in perpetuity, contribute to projects that fit your personal priorities.

Members of our Board will work with you to provide flexible and innovative solutions to support your philanthropic preferences and maximize the benefits of your contribution.
