Book of Giving Opportunities
Throughout the year, grants are awarded from Nanaimo Foundation Family Impact & Lasting Legacy Funds and a series of smaller funds that address specialized areas. Local organizations are invited to submit projects to our Book of Giving Opportunities publication. This Book of Giving Opportunities helps guide donors in gifting from their Family Impact & Lasting Legacy Funds held at Nanaimo Foundation.
Submissions can be on any project for which your organization is currently seeking funding. Our Book of Giving Opportunities includes a range of projects and giving levels. We recommend requesting an amount between $500 and $50,000.
Submissions will be accepted from qualified donees operating within the geographical boundaries of School District 68. Non-profit organizations and community groups are welcome to work with a qualified donee to make a submission. In the case of such a collaboration, the qualified donee would act as a fiscal agent on behalf of the collaborating party.
Review Process
Grants provided from Nanaimo Foundation Family Impact & Lasting Legacy Funds and specialized area funds are disbursed throughout the year. These grants are selected by individual donors who have created these funds, as such there is no formal review process or set timelines for these grants. If a donor wishes to make a grant to your project, a Nanaimo Foundation representative will contact you.
To make a submission, please contact [email protected]. You will be sent an application form.
