Every donation to Vancouver Heritage Foundation is gratefully received and every dollar makes a difference. We accept donations year round to help support our educational programming, our Heritage in Schools program, our special programs like Places That Matter and the Heritage Site Finder, grants and more.
We’ve worked to continue direct support for heritage places with our grant programs so that conservation work, and new publications can proceed, supporting local jobs. Heritage places can connect us to our city and neighbourhoods, to local history and to each other.
Gifts of $1,000 or more are greatly appreciated and are instrumental to the success of our programs. To show our appreciation, major gift donors receive complimentary tickets to events each year. Your gift will also be recognized on our website and in our Annual Report.
Thank you to our 2023 Major Gift Donors!
