Tumbler Ridge is part of our regional community, and we are all processing this devastating tragedy. In times like these, we hold each other close and provide the support needed to navigate the challenging times ahead. In the wake of these events, which have deeply affected the community, the Northeast BC Community Foundation has established the Tumbler Ridge Community Resilience Fund to help support the long journey forward.
This fund is dedicated to supporting the long journey of healing ahead, recognizing that the impacts of such events are felt far beyond the immediate moment.
The Foundation acknowledges that many families and neighbours are grieving, and that healing takes time. The Fund has been created to provide sustained, community-guided support in the months and years ahead. Initiatives and programs will be shaped by local leadership to meet evolving needs and ensure resources are directed where they are most needed.
Through careful stewardship, transparency, and accountability, the Northeast BC Community Foundation is committed to standing beside Tumbler Ridge for the long term. Individuals, businesses, and organizations are invited to contribute and support community-led healing efforts.
NEBCCF is collaborating with the District of Tumbler Ridge and Conuma Resources, the largest employers in Tumbler Ridge, to help
direct donations towards meaningful community initiatives designed to deliver lasting impact.
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.

To enrich the quality of life in our region by providing meaningful ways to create endowment funds, supporting organizations through grants and promoting philanthropy.

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.
