COMMUNITY FOUNDATION OF SOUTH OKANAGAN SIMILKAMEEN
The Community Foundation is a registered charity that helps donors make legacy gifts to support causes they care about. Donations are permanently invested with the income from those investments being granted to more than 80 charities throughout our region each year. In the late 80’s a group of people who supported the Penticton & District Community Arts Council began investigating the idea of setting up an arts foundation. After a great deal of research, they decided it was best to pursue th... e more general idea of a community foundation. Vancouver Foundation was incentivizing the creation of new community foundations by offering to match any donations to a new foundation. With initial donations from the Rotary Club of Penticton, Hong Kong Bank of Canada, and the City of Penticton, the Penticton & District Foundation was created in 1991.
