Ongoing programs:
Vancouver Foundation leverages the generosity of donors towards projects, initiatives, and organizations working to create meaningful and lasting impact on our communities. We continued delivering a number of grant programs and initiatives such as the LEVEL Youth Policy Program, Neighbourhood Small Grants, Thriving Indigenous Systems Grants, Participatory Action Research Grants, and LEVEL BIPOC Grants, as well as granting through donor advised funds and agency endowment funds to support this mission.

New programs:
Established the Transforming Systems Grants to provide grants of $300,000 for three years to charities, non-profits, and community co-operatives in BC that are advancing systemic change by addressing the root causes of inequality and supporting those most affected to shape their own futures. Established the Humanitarian Crisis Grants to provide funding for up to a total of $500,000 to support communities in BC impacted by humanitarian crises. Established the Foundation for Black Communities Big Ideas Grant Supplement to provide a three-year grant to the Foundation for Black Communities in support of their Big Ideas Grant (BIG) program, which supports initiatives in Black-led organizations serving Black communities. Established a multi-year grant to support the Pathways program and partnership, a joint initiative of Arts BC, British Columbia Museums Association (BCMA), Greater Vancouver Professional Theatre Alliance (GVPTA) and the Rural Arts Inclusion Lab (RAIL), which advances equity and systems change in the arts and culture sector in BC.
