Capacity Building

As a community foundation, the West Vancouver Foundation aims to foster peer learning, collaboration, and philanthropic growth for the creation of healthy, vibrant, and livable community. Part of this is done through offering Capacity Building opportunities to the non-profit organizations serving the North Shore.

Current Opportunities

Check back for our 2026 Capacity Building opportunities.

Some possible workshops include:

  • Leaving a gift in your will to charity
  • Financial statements
  • Fundraising

Survey

Is there an area or topic that your organization could use some workshops or training on, to help you better achieve your mission or maximize your resources? In the past we offered online Leadership Labs.  Let us know what would benefit you or your organization with this short survey.

Leadership Grants

These grants are for up to $1,000 and the grants can be used for capacity building opportunities such as courses, workshops, training for staff and/or volunteers. This is part of the Micro Grant program.

Will open in February.
