what guides us
Our Policies
We believe transparency is essential to building strong, honest relationships with the people and organizations we work with.
Privacy
We are committed to protecting your personal information. Our Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how we keep it safe, in compliance with BC’s Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. Whether you are applying for a grant, attending an event, or simply visiting our website, we want you to feel confident about how your information is handled.
Funding Neutrality and Freedom of Expression
We make funding decisions based on merit, impact, and alignment with our mandate, not on the political or legal positions of the organizations we support. Our Policy on Funding Neutrality and Freedom of Expression explains how we uphold impartiality in our grantmaking while championing the right of our grantees to speak freely and advocate boldly for the communities they serve.
