About Us

Regardless of where you live in our community, the Delta Community Foundation is supporting invaluable work in the neighbourhoods in which you live, work and play.

Through the generosity of our donors, we fund initiatives, charities and non-profit organizations operating in sectors such as mental health, education, arts, culture & heritage, children & youth, environment, food security, Indigenous initiatives, neighborhoods, seniors and much, much more.

For more than 35 years, our Foundation has been the only charity that gives to all other charities in Delta. Our donors have entrusted us with more than $3 million in funding, and the generous members of our community continue to give.

Our success comes from your success, and the committed community members who have volunteered their time, professional expertise and passion for supporting a caring Delta community.

If you already give where you live, we thank you for your support. We welcome new donors and are pleased to offer many ways to contribute, from small donations to larger funds and endowments that can memorialize a loved one for generations to come.

Like you, we love where we live, and take pride in giving back to our community.

Unlimited potential, generosity for generations

You don’t have to be a person of great wealth to make an impact. 

When caring individuals give through a professional and knowledgeable organization known as a community foundation, our philanthropic potential is unlimited. 

The Delta Community Foundation can provide you with the opportunity to support the causes you care about the most. We do this through administering thoughtful grant-making to improve the quality of life in the communities we serve.

Donors who give to a community foundation like ours build sustainable, permanent funds through contributions big and small.

These funds, administered by the Delta Community Foundation, support the organizations that donors care about, forever. Through the generosity of our many donors and the responsible, informed investment of permanent funds, we will continue to increase our grant-making ability for the benefit of our community for generations to come.

The Rotary Club of Ladner founded the Delta Community Foundation (previously the Delta Foundation) in 1986, under the Societies Act of British Columbia.

Since 1987 the Delta Community Foundation has been registered with the Canada Revenue Agency and assigned a charitable registration number. It has grown to become a strong, independent organization that serves Delta.

With assets that have reached more than $3 million, thanks to generous donors, the Delta Community Foundation has been able to give out over $100,000 in grants and scholarships this year.

A fundraising campaign started in the winter of 2021 with a goal of building the Community Support Fund to help even more charities in Delta.
