Are you interested in being a part of a great organization where the primary purpose is giving back to the community?
May 8, 2024: The Terrace Community Foundation (TCF) is currently seeking a Director to sit on the Board for a 3-year term. The TCF’s vision is to create a resilient, resourceful, caring community for all. We do that by fundraising in various ways to build our endowment fund and then allocate funds out into the community twice a year to local non-profits. Our contributions support them in delivering all the wonderful services and opportunities that they provide to Terrace and area residents. Some examples of the many non-profits we have supported over the years are: My Mountain Co-op/Shames Mountain, Terrace & District Arts Council, Terrace Curling Association, Terrace Women‘s Resource Centre, Terrace Hospice Society, Scouts Canada, Dr. REM Lee Hospital Foundation. Ksan Society and so many more. The time commitment for this opportunity is very reasonable...just the right amount to dip your toes into volunteerism! We hold one meeting a month and take the months of July and August off. We are generally able to keep most meetings to one hour. We occasionally have other working group meetings as needed and we strive to host two significant fundraising events each year. For more information please contact the Terrace Community Foundation at info@terracecf.ca or check out our Facebook page or website http://terracecommunityfoundation.com Oct 1, 2023: PLEASE NOTE our new mailing address. Terrace Community Foundation Inquiries and grant applications should now be mailed to Box 133, Terrace, V8G 4A2.

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. |
