About
Our Mission
“The Alberni Valley has been a source of economic, social and cultural wealth for its people. The Alberni Valley Community Foundation provides a unique opportunity for citizens and organizations to make a tangible and lasting contribution in support of our Community’s visions and actions.”
Community Foundations – a Unique Concept
A Community Foundation is a pool of charitable donations. This pool is invested and the interest earned is distributed to local charitable organizations. The principal is not touched, so the donations continue to grow, generating income to meet local needs for many years to come.

Invests in the future of our community by creating and managing funds: all gifts from donors go into permanent endowments

Addresses community needs and opportunities; encourages caring citizens to provide leadership
