Thank you for taking part! What we doThe Terrace Community Foundation is an apolitical, philanthropic organization whose purpose is to raise funds and bring donors to the table to build a resilient, resourceful, caring community.
In turn, always with a view to building a better community, we provide grants to community groups and organizations that cover a very broad spectrum of needs in Terrace and area that include (but are not limited to) recreation, health, the arts, the environment and education. We offer a variety of possibilities that allow donors to target specific or broad areas of interest. Endowment funds provide support in perpetuity so that your investment today will still be providing benefits years into the future. Donations over the minimum allowed receive a tax receipt. We work with the Prince George Community Foundation for the investment of our funds and to share in their expertise. Terrace Community Foundation 2023 Summary of Activities

2021 Tenth Anniversary Summary on 10 years of fundraising and grant giving.Formation of our FoundationThe Foundation was created by the City of Terrace in 2011, utilizing $50,000 in matching funds from the Northern Development Initiative Trust to establish an Endowment Fund. The Terrace Community Foundation is a federally registered not-for-profit corporation, governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. In addition to the Foundation's own funds, we have since 2017 administered community grants on behalf of the City of Terrace, provided a "flow-through" for industry partners' charitable initiatives and facilitated senior government program funds such Canada 150 and COVID emergency relief. The Terrace Community Foundation's Endowment Fund is invested with, and managed by, the Prince George Community Foundation. As of December 2023, including Named Funds, our Endowment Fund has grown to $1 million. The Foundation provides grants from the interest earned on this base amount.
The Terrace Community Foundation operates in Terrace and area, within the traditional territories of the Kitsumkalum and Kitselas First Nations of the Tsimshian. |
