Create Your Legacy

Building Community Together

People give for many reasons: to honour a loved one, to create a legacy, to strengthen a cause they believe in, or simply to give back to the place they call home. However you choose to give, the North Peace Community Foundation ensures your generosity is managed responsibly and directed to the causes that matter most to you. Endowment funds are one way to do this, offering a permanent and growing source of community support.

Why People Give

Our donors choose to give for many different reasons:

  • To honour the memory of a loved one through a named endowment.

  • To create a personal legacy that will live on for generations.

  • To demonstrate corporate social responsibility and engage employees in community building.

  • To help charities establish stable, long-term funding in the face of uncertain granting cycles.

  • To contribute to an already-established endowment and make an immediate impact.

Ways to Give

We offer a variety of giving options to suit your goals:

  • Cash gifts (cheque, credit card, or online).

  • Planned gifts through your Will or estate.

  • Publicly traded securities, including mutual funds.

  • Life insurance policies that name the Foundation as a beneficiary.

  • Other gifts include vehicle donations.

Each option comes with potential tax advantages and incentives that can make your gift an even more affordable way to support the causes you care about.

Planning

We offer guidance to help make giving simple and meaningful:

  • Use our sample Will wording to ensure your wishes are honoured.

  • Transfer securities directly for tax-smart giving.

  • Consider gifting life insurance to create a lasting legacy.

  • You can even donate a vehicle, turning it into a positive community impact.

We would be honoured to help you explore the option that best reflects your values.

Where Generosity Grows

The North Peace Community Foundation establishes endowment funds with your gifts to create a permanent legacy in BC’s North Peace region. This growing pool of funds is professionally invested, managed and responsibly stewarded so that each year, a percentage of the funds are granted to charitable organizations and causes that mean the most to you.
