Enriching the lives of residents on the Saanich Peninsula both for today and for the future.
The Saanich Peninsula Foundation (the “Foundation”) is a society incorporated under the Societies Act of British Columbia committed to improving the quality of life on the Saanich Peninsula by promoting and increasing responsible, effective and accessible philanthropy. Through its grants programme, the Foundation supports activities in the areas of health and social services, arts and culture, education, conservation and in recreation which benefit the residents of the Saanich Peninsula.
The Foundation encourages gifts to a permanent community fund dedicated to benefit Saanich Peninsula residents. The gifts, both small and large, are pooled and invested. The investment returns are distributed annually to worthy Saanich Peninsula charitable organizations. The capital of the permanent community fund grows with each new gift, generating increased returns to be gifted to a wide range of local community initiatives for years to come. Contributions of $25 or more entitles donors to a charitable tax receipt from the Foundation’s approved fund administrator, the Victoria Foundation.
