The BC Social Enterprise Fund

One special example of a Designated Grant Fund is the BC Social Enterprise Fund (BC SEF), which was created in 2005 to provide capital grants to second-stage social enterprises. The first fund of its kind in Canada, it was created through a partnership between BC SVP, Vancity and Vancouver Foundation.

Seeing an opportunity to contribute to the development of social enterprise in BC, several individual Partners donated the funds that constitute BC SVP's contribution to this ground-breaking Fund.

Donor Advised Funds

Partners can create personalized Donor Advised Funds. BC SVP takes care of the administration of the fund, leaving the donor free to focus on their personal philanthropic goals. For more information, please contact us.
