About Northeast BC Community Foundation
Giving back for the long term
Community is our committment
What is a Community Foundation?
A Community Foundation is a charitable non-profit organization dedicated to improving communities in a specific region. Its members contribute time, leadership and financial support to local initiatives, helping donors give back where their communities need it most.
Community Foundations help Canadians invest in building strong and resilient communities in unique and innovative ways. They link donors with specific community needs and manage long-term endowments to fund strategic granting decisions.
There are 191 community foundations covering 90 percent of communities across Canada, with $5.2 billion in assets under management.
Our Mission
To enrich the quality of life in our region by providing meaningful ways to create endowment funds, supporting organizations through grants and promoting philanthropy.
Our Values
Transparency | Inclusivity | Collaboration | Sustainability
Our Vision
Building a lasting legacy of healthy, vibrant, growing communities
History
Founded in 2009, created by and for our communities throughout the Peace region, we are building our asset base in endowed funds to provide long-term financial support for community projects in health, the environment, social services, arts, culture and other emerging community needs.
The Northeast BC Community Foundation offers you the unique opportunity to support your community and to share in shaping its future by pooling and investing the charitable gifts of our donors. Gifts and bequests are accumulated in a permanent trust fund managed by a highly skilled team of professionals. Investment income is allocated carefully and responsibly to charitable organizations committed to enhancing the quality of life in our community.
The Northeast Regional Community Foundation is a registered charity: #82401 5556 RR0001
We’re a proud member of Community Foundations of Canada
Did you Know
In Memoriam Fund…. for many people who have lost a loved one it is a challenge to
know how to honor them and to keep their memory alive.
There is a way to do just that and leave a lasting, ongoing legacy in their name.
I recently read the tragic story of a 17-year-old that was killed in an auto accident. At the memorial there were 1000 people who gave over $66,000 in donations. The family created a fund in their child’s name. This fund now provides grants each year…. forever, in honor of this teen.
It takes as little as $10,000 to establish a Fund which can grow and continue to give back and impact our communities.
Call today to find out how you can establish your own Fund with us.
Grants
Every year, in partnership with our donors and fund holders, your Community Foundation provides grants to innovative charitable projects, both large and small. The Northeast BC Community Foundation has helped citizens give back to our communities since 2015.
There are two grant cycles during the year and applications can be submitted any time. Deadlines are February 15th and September 15th.

Yvonne Elden Memorial Fund
It is like completing a circle which began in the 1950s – when the Little Prairie Ladies Club was the driving force in the acquisition of land for the first public library in Chetwynd. As an active member of the Club, Yvonne was very involved in the first library. As a life-long learner and Teacher-Librarian, Yvonne loved books and reading. Her family cannot recall a time when there were not bedtime stories, books in the house, and regular visits to the local library. As her Mother was also a Librarian perhaps it was a family calling?
Donations can be made towards a new Library for Chetwynd in Yvonne’s name for those wishing to.
Cheques should be made payable to Northeast Regional Community Foundation with “Chetwynd Library – Yvonne Elden” on the memo line.
Support our ongoing projects by selecting them when you donate
