Helping Hand Fund
Who can apply: For people on Bowen Island facing personal emergencies and needing confidential assistance; administered by a volunteer committee.
Bowen Island Community Foundation focuses on strengthening life on Bowen Island by funding local community services, health and wellbeing, youth programs, arts and culture, and community infrastructure. A large share of its giving goes to place-based organizations and municipal/community partners, while a smaller portion supports education through university and scholarship-related grants. It appears to act as a community convener and re-granter as well, with meaningful support flowing through Vancouver Foundation and neighborhood small grants.
