Since 1936, the Victoria Foundation has focused on the well being of our community and on leaving a legacy for generations to come. Our goal is to improve the quality of life for everyone in our community by carefully building and managing permanent funds and other gifts, and by providing grants to charitable organizations on southern Vancouver Island and beyond.

As a community foundation, we pool charitable gifts – large and small – from donors to create permanent, income earning funds. We then distribute the earnings while carefully respecting the wishes of our donors. In doing so, we support our community, help charitable organizations succeed, and improve the lives of as many people as possible in our community.
