The Community Foundation of Whistler is like the long-term savings account for the community. Our objective is to help donors give back to the community in a way that creates personal meaning for them and impact on the community.

The Community Foundation of Whistler gives donors the unique opportunity to create their own legacy for the community in the form of an endowment fund. Gifts to endowment funds are pooled and form assets for the community.

Earnings from these professionally managed assets are granted back into the community each year to registered charities who are working to improve the community.

We are a charitable public foundation, operated by members of our local community who live, work and raise their families here in the Sea to Sky region.

We bring people together to create opportunities for dialogue, learning, and partnership. Our knowledge of the community helps us to create maximum impact with our grant programs.

The Whistler Community Foundation is the steward of money gifted to the community and provides grants to local charities.

It has been a tough couple of years for grantees, and donations to any of our 37+ funds will continue to help build resilience in our community.

However, we would like to encourage donations to the Community Fund. The money raised will be invested indefinitely and proceeds of the investment will be distributed by the Caring Community Grants Committee.

Why build the Community Fund?
Well, as it stands, the Community Fund has the most flexible granting model, meaning that the grants committee can simply fund the activities and programs with the greatest need without specific parameters. And with a very new normal in the midst, we estimate that we will see unexpected need that could truly use flexibility in granting.
