This Giving Tuesday, make a lasting change by giving a gift to one of VCF’s Collective Impact Funds.
VCF's four Collective Impact Funds each address a key community need, empowering local organizations, advancing equity and building thriving communities for everyone.
How Collective Impact Funds make a difference
Collective Impact Funds bring people together to pool donations and support community-led solutions. These funds turn generosity into strategic grants, technical advice and assistance, advocacy and other resources for charities and non-profits tackling urgent issues like affordable housing and climate change.

What sets Collective Impact Funds apart?
- Empowering local leadership: Solutions are created and led by people with lived experience.
- Building trust: Funding is given through trust-based philanthropy, shifting decision-making to community organizations.
- Fostering collaboration: Many organizations and donors work together, increasing impact and sparking new ideas.
- Addressing root causes: Funds focus on big challenges - housing, climate and economic inclusion - rather than just treating symptoms.
- Ensuring equity: Support goes to communities that need it most, helping build a more fair, inclusive future.
Giving Tuesday is a global movement and day of generosity that encourages people, charities and companies to give back through acts of kindness, volunteering and donations to support their communities and worthy causes.
This Giving Tuesday, we invite you to join a growing community of donors, partners and changemakers who believe that the biggest impact is grounded in trust and collective giving.
A heartful thank you
At Vancity Community Foundation, we believe real change starts with equity, justice and community-led solutions. For over 35 years, we’ve shown that when we come together. Through long-standing partnerships or newer efforts like collective giving funds, we have the power to build thriving, inclusive communities.
Our new strategic plan puts community leadership at the center, focusing on those most impacted by affordability and climate challenges, especially Indigenous and Black communities. With your support, we can distribute resources where they’re needed most and empower local champions to create lasting change.
Join us this Giving Tuesday and help us build a future where everyone belongs and nature thrives. Together, we can make a real difference.
