The Vancouver Foundation – Funding radicals In Northwest British Columbia

Last page edit: July 23, 2026

Again the problem with organizations like these, that do lots of good work, they also fund radical organizations and or radical behavior by individuals. Funding Eco-terrorists does not exempt you from responsibility.

As Canada’s largest community foundation, the Vancouver Foundation does not rely on a single source or government taxpayer funding to operate. Instead, its funding comes from a combination of individual generosity, strategic financial investments, and institutional partnerships.

The main sources of the Vancouver Foundation’s funding include:

1. Individual Donors & Families

The majority of the foundation’s capital comes from thousands of everyday citizens, philanthropists, and local families. Donors give through several avenues:

• Endowment Funds: Donors establish permanent funds (often named after their family or a loved one) where the principal investment is kept permanently, and the annual earnings are granted out to charitable causes.

• Legacy Gifts & Bequests: Many people leave a portion of their estate, life insurance policies, or stocks to the foundation in their wills.

• One-Time Direct Donations: Donors contribute directly to targeted funds like the Community Impact Fund to respond to immediate, pressing needs in British Columbia.

2. Investment Returns (The Endowment)

The foundation manages an endowment pool valued at over $1.5 billion.

• Rather than spending original cash donations directly, the foundation pools and invests these assets in stocks, bonds, and other securities.

• The returns generated from these investments generate tens of millions of dollars each year, which are then distributed as grants to charities across B.C.

3. Charities and Businesses

• Charity Agency Funds: Over 500 non-profits and charities hold their own endowment funds with the Vancouver Foundation. The foundation manages their money to help provide the charities with a reliable, long-term income stream.

• Corporate Giving: Local and national businesses partner with the foundation to manage their corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs or establish business-backed community funds.

4. Unclaimed Property (BC Unclaimed)

A unique and significant source of funding comes from the BC Unclaimed Property Society.

• British Columbia is the only jurisdiction in North America that directs forgotten financial assets (like inactive bank accounts or unclaimed court deposits) toward charitable causes through a non-profit model.

• When funds remain unclaimed indefinitely, BC Unclaimed transfers the interest and excess funds to the Vancouver Foundation. This partnership has provided over $80 million in unrestricted grants since 2004.

5. Government Partnerships

While the foundation is an independent non-profit, both federal and provincial governments occasionally partner with it to distribute large-scale relief or social innovation funds. For example, the Province of B.C. has partnered with the foundation to co-fund and administer multi-million dollar initiatives like the Recovery and Resiliency Fund for B.C. non-profits.

The environmentalist movement must be gearing up for a new round of wars with anyone wishing to invest in Northern British Columbia.

In 2022 the Vancouver Foundation, who does not even tell the public where thier funds come from, or if they are a front for either the Tides Foundation and or the Betty Moore Foundation, or for that matter if they get funds from outside nations to block projects inside British Columbia.

Here is what we do know, in 2022 the Vancouver Foundation funded the following radical groups that were funding action to block industry in northern British Columbia.

Skeena Knowledge Trust received $150,000.00
Skeena Watershed Conservation Coalition received $216,000.00
SkeenaWild Conservation Trust received two payments of $50,000.00
Gitxsan Laxyip received $50,000.00

and

Tides Canada Initiatives Society
Youth on Water- Skeena Watershed Conservation Coalition received $20,000.00

All of the above were involved in one way or another intentionally costing taxpayers more money to complete an approved project, namely Coastal Gaslink.

It begs the question of why is it legal to funnel funds into organizations that are involved in fighting the taxpayers of our nation.
