Our vision is connecting people who care with causes that matter.®

The Victoria Foundation pools charitable gifts - large and small - from many donors, to create permanent, income earning funds that will benefit the community in perpetuity. We distribute the earnings as efficiently as we can, carefully respecting the wishes of our donors, so we can support our citizens, help charitable organizations succeed, and improve the lives of as many people as possible within our community. Each year, the Foundation strives to identify areas in need of support and makes grants to vital local registered charities operating in the realm of:

• Arts, culture and heritage
• Community services
• Education
• Environment
• Health and Recreation
