You can support the causes closest to your heart without having to choose a specific charity. By directing your gift to a Focus Area, our experts and advisors will ensure your gift responds to the most relevant, pressing needs of the community — now and into the future.
Donate to Health and Medicine
Healthy communities start with healthy people. Sadly, many health inequities exist in BC, and some communities are more impacted than others.
Donors like you can help solve key health issues and make healthcare more accessible by supporting charities for health. The most sustainable way to make a difference is by starting a fund that supports our Health Focus Area.
Whether through a Donor Advised Fund or a one-time donation, your gift allows focus area experts at Vancouver Foundation to direct your donation to projects that improve crucial BC health and medical issues today and for years to come.
Focus Areas are Guided by Community Advisors
When you support a Focus Area, you join a powerful force of like-minded donors and community advisors to make a profound impact on the causes you care about. Our Focus Areas fuel our grant programs. Each program also has its own team of community advisors who are all experts in their fields. This team reviews grant applications and directs your donation to the ones.
