COMMUNITYREPORT

It gives me great pleasure to report on the 2018 progress that the BC Interior Community Foundation has made this year. Our endowment base continues to grow which allows us to give more financial grants back to the communities in the regions we serve – Chase to Lillooet, Merritt to Clearwater and, of course, Kamloops. The Foundation is so grateful to our generous donors who see the wisdom in investing in endowment funds where the principal is never touched.

Many agencies and students benefit greatly from the Foundation. As time goes on it is hoped that they will all be able to receive larger grants to help them with their individual causes.

Please review the information in this report and feel free to contact the Foundation for more information on grants or on making a donation to help our citizens for today and tomorrow.

The Marg Spina Community Enhancement Fund

A well-known community member, former Councillor, advocate for the Kamloops Food Bank, Kamloops Hospice and community well-being, Marg Spina was a powerful voice and influence! To celebrate Marg’s legacy, her husband Ross created the Marg Spina Community Enhancement Fund. Proceeds from the Fund are used to help keep Kamloops beautiful and to fund charitable programs and projects throughout the BCICF region.
