The Alberni Valley Community Foundation
Our Foundation is registered with the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency. It is governed by an appointed Board of Volunteers, who are knowledgeable about local needs and recognized for their financial stewardship and community leadership. Assets will grow each year and the Foundation is then able to support local organizations serving youth, seniors, health, arts and culture as well as education, recreation and the environment within the Alberni Valley.
